This perfect place for a stay in Venice. It was centrally located, and one short block to the ocean and the Venice strand, and all that is offered there. We had nice weather for spring, and really enjoyed it. However, the best part was the property itself, as it is in its own compound, behind a high fence and with a lovely yard, in which we had a BBQ with some local friends, and it's terrace was a great place to sit and enjoy a drink or coffee or to talk with friends. It is like a little oasis within Venice, and the property was protected from the windy conditions outside. The apartment was very good, as we used both bedrooms and the kitchen. My friend, Andrea, is from Germany and this was her first trip to the US and L.A. and after one night in the apartment she did not want to go anywhere else; she spent the final 3 days at the property or the beach. We had a great time and highly recommend. Sidney was the perfect host.
