We enjoyed our time here very much. We spent 5 nights there right before Christmas. The location is EXCELLENT! The place is within walking distance to everything in the area: the beach, Abbot Kinney Blvd, Main Street of Santa Monica, and Venice Boardwalk. We used to live in the area and we felt like we were home. The pictures are accurate and its very spacious. Keep in mind its really a typical older Venice Beach "bungalow" type home. We had a little issue with the upstairs heater, but that was resolved as soon as I notified the owner. Also, if you require lodging with a view you would not be satisfied. Overall a good experience!
