A friend highly recommended this studio apartment and it was PERFECT. Walking in to a sparkling clean place after a long travel day is so welcome! John and Charlotte have created a special retreat that is extremely restful despite being so convenient to all that Venice has to offer. The amenities are high-quality (bed linens, towels, plush bathrobe, big beach towels) and the kitchen and bath have everything you would want. I loved sitting with my coffee every morning in the garden patio area right outside my door. Parking on the street was never a problem and as a solo woman, I always felt safe parking and walking on the block at night. I highly recommend this spot for a single or couple traveling who want to be in one of Venice's eclectic residential areas that is safe and walking distance to Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Rose Avenue, and the beach. I look forward to returning!
