We had a wonderful stay at Bea & Henning's studio. The pictures and description are pretty much spot on. Also, it's located between the charm of Abbot Kinney and the convenience of Lincoln (Whole Foods, etc) - if you haven't been to Venice that's basically where you want to be. Definitely take advantage of the outdoor patio - you may not be able to layout/sunbath but it's perfect for some wine and cheese in the late afternoon.
