Charles Place is charming spot really central in Venice. The studio itself is decent can get stuffy when hot but there is aircon. If you have a car it can be a pain to find parking. Which was frustrating. You cannot use the garden if guests the main house are using it which makes planning ahead hard if you want to bbq. But after saying all that I did like the room it was priced fairly and it is close to abbot kinney and the canals.
