Ray's house is just as pictured (unlike many others on airbnb, sadly.) A truly gorgeous, special, HUGE place. His manager/greeter was lovely and gave a thorough tour of the place upon arrival. If you have children, Ray's place is especially wonderful. All set up with baby gates, play pen, even some toys and crib. The neighborhood is one of the most charming areas of Venice and so lovely to walk around. Close to Abbot Kinney (Salt Air is my new favorite restaurant) and the cute canals. Would absolutely recommend and stay at again.
