Truly fantastic. In one minute you are at the beach. With the bikes (free with the apartment) you can bike along the beach from Venice Beach all up to Malibu. Walking to the other direction brings you in Abbot Kinney Boulevard in no-time, which is hands done the best street in Venice for food and drinks. The restaurants and bars mentioned in the list in the appartment are very much worth visiting. If this appartment is available, I could only advise to make a reservation and start looking forward to it.
