Fantastic location- we rented bikes only, no car, and had easy access to the beach, Whole Foods, Groundwork Coffee, restaurants, Abbot Kinney Ave, and last but not least, the Marvin Braude Bike Trail which we rode north to Will Rogers State Park and south all the way to Manhattan Beach. The price for this space in this location is tough to beat. The private yard was probably our favorite part. Clean, quiet, well equipped. Yes, Venice is a very urban area. But the house felt safe and we were happy to be so close to so much. Highly recommend
