Carol's place was as advertised. Cute, quaint, met our expectations and an amazing location in Venice. Canals are right around the corner, all homes on her street are kept up and very nice, the beach is a short walk one way and the marina just a few blocks the other direction. Carol was very nice and accommodating. If you need simple accommodations with great location this works great. This trip was just my wife and I. I would travel with my kids here only if I planned to be out of the place most of the day and used it for sleeping mainly.
