I loved my stay in Venice in Patrick's one bedroom studio. Patrick is a very responsive and accomodating host, I arrived on an 8am flight and Patrick organised for Martha to greet me at the property straight from the airport. She was warm and friendly and let me store my bags while I went for a run down to the beach (about 10-15 mins run) and a swim. When I got back, Martha had organised the room for an early check in around midday which I really appreciated. You won't find more generous hosts on Airbnb.

The studio itself was awesome, polished concrete floors, fully functioning kitchen and a great bathroom with a very nice shower. The fan in the bedroom really helped with the hot weather. The wifi was excellent.

Finally, the location was perfect. I wouldn't have wanted to be right on the beach as it was bit of a hectic scene. Everything was an easy ride or walk away. I borrowed a bike and rode to Wholefoods (8 mins riding), the area is really bike friendly with designated bike lanes on a lot of the streets. I also walked to Abott Kinney (less than 10 mins walk) to check out the shops and cool bars/restaurants/cafes.

I thoroughly recommend this studio if your staying in Venice, and wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you very much Patrick and Martha for a wonderful stay.
