I'm a Venice local and booked this space for visiting family. It was better than I had even hoped. The room is spacious, quiet, and private. Patrick went out of his way to provide things they might need. And best of all, my nephew said he "really got to feel what it was like to live in Venice." I loved that they had access to great coffee at Deus ex Machina (steps away), and could easily walk to Abbot-Kinney. Even the beach is walkable, but if it feels too far, bikes are available. I'm going to book again when family visit! It's perfect.
