Cara's Place is in a great location in Venice. Very quite in an walled in garden. Apartment was cozy, clean and neat. Bed super comfortable. Close to the beach and Abbot Kinney where there are lots of shops and restaurants. You can rent bikes and scooters everywhere . Lincoln Rd. Is a 15 minute walk in the opposite direction where there are more grocery stores and restaurants. Biking along the beach to the Santa Monica pier was great fun. We visited lots of museums in the LA area and took the Lyft or Uber, never a long wait. We didn't meet Cara but if we had questions she always answered them promptly.
