Staying in Paul and Josie's guesthouse was so much better than a crowded hotel. The Venice Canals are so beautiful and you can walk to the beach and boardwalk. It was a short Uber ride to any LA location. One day I went to Marina del Rey and another day to Santa Monica. The highlight of the whole trip was using Paul and Josie's single man kayak for a leisurely and very serene trip through the canals. I highly recommend this beautiful guesthouse.
