I spent several months at Donna's place on Pacific and had an absolutely wonderful stay. The studio is spacious, sparkling clean and in a fabulous location. The bed was comfortable, it has a desk/table to work at, and has a large bathroom with a great tub. You're a block and a half away from the beach, a 10 minute walk to all of the shops/restaurants on Abbot Kinney, the canals, a quick drive to major grocery stores and anything else you might need. The building is gated coded, so felt safe and it was very nice having an actual parking spot. Everyone in the building (minus one very specific couple which Donna addressed) was quiet, respectful and very nice.
Donna was responsive to any requests/concerns and addressed them immediately...including when I locked myself out once! I would definitely recommend staying here if you find yourself needed a space in Venice.
