This was a really beautiful place to stay for 3 nights! The place looks as it does in the photos so no surprises there. We walked everywhere in Venice and then used the public bikes to get to Santa Monica (they do have bikes to use but we we’re planning on ubering home). We thought the bed was comfy, especially for a Murphy bed.
The outdoor space was lovely but we felt like we were right on top of the family. The children are young and very rambunctious when playing outside but Vincent was super responsive when I messaged him about the noise during the work day. Just something to keep in mind if you are looking for a super quiet getaway. We cooked one night and ate outside (grill wasn’t working but we made do) but the lights are on the timer and abruptly shut off at 10pm. We understand the quiet hours and that the family home is less than 10 feet away, but for us we would want somewhere with a little more privacy/autonomy. Nothing bad to stay about the hosts or the house just maybe not the best fit for us.
