This was an impromptu last hurrah with my teenage daughters before my oldest moves out of state for college end of this month. We wanted a quiet home that was secluded/off the beaten path yet still had all the charm and appeal of Venice & close enough for us to have some fun. We found it! Heidi's home is an adorable, mediterranean charmer. Her resident rescue dog & kitten took an instant liking to our small dog and they fully enjoyed their time together. The home was very comfortable, Heidi is so accommodating, parking was easy (no meters or restrictions!) and everything is literally one mile away. Close enough to walk, bike or drive if you must. We ate out for every meal and snack in between, stayed busy on AbbotKinney then of course had some adventures on the boardwalk. The neighborhood is very safe and all the neighbors are very friendly. I hope to stay here again :)
