Oh my, you *have* to stay at Lealani and Jordan's place. It's handmade (really!) as a home away from home—and the thought they put into the house shows. It's got everything from a comfy couch to a spacious bed to a complete kitchen and bath. It feels like a home because it is: there's fresh water waiting in the fridge, top notch pots and pans ready for a home cooked meal, and comfy linens set aside just for you.

Starting from the entryway—built up with plants, flowers, and a gorgeous outdoor seating area—the home is secluded. Yet step outside and you have the best of Venice waiting. From Gjusta (go look up some pics of their food and get excited), a Cerveteca (same), and a wine and dinner bar (same!) just around the corner, all the way to the famous Venice beach just five blocks away, you're surrounded by whatever you need to relax.

All that said, what *really* makes this place so special—the best Airbnb I've stayed in, truly—is the people. Lealani and Jordan are a wonderful couple that are excited about hosting. They were fine giving me space if I wanted it, but also welcomed me into the neighborhood, flush with all the local tips. I spent my trip just following the ideas they hand curated for me, and had a way better time than I could've ever planned for myself. The two clearly know Venice like the back of their hands, and can craft their suggestions around you and whatever you're looking for from your stay.

Come, stay, and get to know them and their lovely home. You're in for a unique treat when you stay here.

Enjoy!
