We really enjoyed our stay in Michaela's beach bungalow. She was readily contactable and although she was unable to meet us on our arrival, she managed to arrange for her friend to greet us. While small with few frills, it's rustic, comfortable and most importantly conveniently located just right off the boardwalk and sandy beaches of Venice. It's also just a short walk from Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the Venice Canals and the Pier. We had no issues with noise over the weekend, but street parking was rather challenging. We resorted to settle for steeply priced private parking nearby. We were advised to find parking further way from the main beach area, but felt it was too much of a hassle. I would absolutely recommend this place for those looking for a simple place to crash after exploring this side of LA.
