If you want to be in the Venice area, then this is the most central location you could ask for on one of the most beautiful canals in Venice. It is also just a moment away from Venice Beach and the wonderful bike path that leads all the way up to Santa Monica.
It is also very close to Santa Monica and all of West LA. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and a great place to stay for a few days.
Angelo was a great host and very responsive.
