Me and my wife picked this listing as we wanted to be close to Venice Beach, and I just have to say the pictures do not do it justice. It was absolutely perfect. Rob was a great host offering advice and tips on the things to do in Venice. We used the two bicycles to go to the beach and it was maybe a 5 minute ride, which was really great because we didn't have to deal with parking. We were both 100% satisfied and would definitely recommend this to anyone wishing to stay in the Venice area.
