The apartment is well decorate and was very clean. It's a great place to stay short term, I was there 3 months and felt there were curtains things that could have been improved upon for guest staying longer than 1-2 weeks. The kitchen is equipped just enough for light cooking. I stayed for 3 months and felt it was missing some key things for a long stay. There is no sort of dresser to put things like socks/under garments in so I had to go out and buy baskets. I also had to buy an iron which I feel is a staple item that should be in a rental. In addition to the iron I purchased a new shower curtain and bathroom rug because when I arrived the owners were stained. The bedroom comforter and sheets were clean however had bleach stains on them. The locaton is great because it's close to the main strip in Venice. Unfortunately the homeless issue in Venice is an issue everywhere and you'll definitely see them along the road the apartment is located on. The building itself could use some updating but the apartment is nice in comparison to the outside. Overall I had a good experience.
