The house worked perfectly for us--lots of spaces for people to hang out, comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen. Six of us spent four nights there and we had several meals at the dining room table, hung out in different areas, and enjoyed everything. The location worked really well for us--Venice is great and it's a short walk to the beach, a short walk up to Abbot Kinney. We walked to the Farmer's Market on Sunday morning and it was amazing. Our only quibble was that at least one of the beds was not a queen--there is a primary bedroom with a king, another bedroom with a queen, and then two bedrooms with fulls. This wasn't a huge deal but if you're planning to have two big people share beds, worth knowing.
