The place is truly right on the beach. My first night I enjoyed watching people walk by, and even got to hear some surprisingly good musicians on the street right there. It was clean, which is hard to do right on the beach with all the sand. That's important to me.
It's very convenient if you love the water. Even if not the scooters and bikes all over the walkway by the beach make it easier than ever to get around Venice within a mile or two. We went to Santa Monica and the muscle beach areas quickly without the need to call a ride.
There were three of us and we had no problems with the house. Plenty of space for everyone, and more than enough closet space.
I do wish for an Airbnb in this pricing tier there was more consistent quality. Fix the flashing closet light, get a new toilet in the master, maybe update the windows to reduce waste and noise at night. I never felt unsafe, but I did have to double down on white noise to sleep through the night. Overall I don't think it makes sense to deduct any stars so it's still a great choice.
