Incredible find in a spectacular neighborhood! Beautiful renovation, very comfortable space, private backyard garden, and very clean. Ample street parking. 20-30 minute walk to lots of shopping and the beach, but also very close to cool spots on Venice Blvd. Very nice and very responsive owner. Felt like a Venice resident for the week. Highly recommended, will stay here again.

First time in LA

We were very impressed by how cozy,clean and comfortable the VRBO unit felt. The only change i would request that the owner replace the day to a queen size bed which would allow 4 people to sleep in the unit.

Beautiful place, some comments.

The property is well done overall. It has a vintage movie fan decor. Location is good with tons of restaurants nearby and close to Venice Beach. Walkable neighborhood appears to be very safe. Note should be made for short people, and people with mobility problems that in order to get into the tub/shower, you have to go over a ledge that is more than 2' above the floor. Also, there is only street parking, 2 hour limit, and one morning a week, you must have your car elsewhere for at least 4 hours. We could not get the TV to work, as you must know how to use Roku. Ample hot water through a tankless water heater. Overall a good property for a summer stay.

Home Away From Home

My daughter and I had a great stay at this cute house on Zanja St. Our host Spencer was in contact at the beginning and end of the stay, and made himself available as needed. The house is lovely and clean, providing open space to land at after a day in the city. It felt like a "home away from home", and we would love to return upon future visits to Los Angeles.

Perfect - pup friendly home

Just back from a 4 night stay at this comfortable, well appointed and cozy house. We were 3 adults and one 25 lb pup and the space was perfect. Much larger than it looks in the photos - while we did not really cook in the kitchen it had everything we would need and lots of space. The main sitting room was very comfortable, bath was large and the tub was great. Bed in master bedroom very comfortable. The futon was fine for one person, we did not use the air mattress. Decor was clean, LA appropriate and just enough to make you feel like you were in a home and not a hotel. Everything was organized and the yard was clean and well tended to. Spenser was the perfect host and his canine buddy, Mijo, was sweet and friendly. Our pup would have played with him constantly if allowed. Parking was readily available out the front door and the entry system worked great. One of the best VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Thank you Spenser. We will most definently stay here again when we visit LA area.

Great house for Thanksgiving week!

Fantastic space, kitchen and location. Even an easy to use television. I made a Thanksgiving turkey to bring to my daughter's in this great kitchen and it was delicious! The owner is helpful and gracious. Very well stocked house. We will be back!

Beautiful Property

We had a fantastic VRBO experience at this property. The landscaping is gorgeous in the front and back of the house. The home interior is beautiful and we all loved the decor. The house was spotless when we arrived, which is always a big plus. Beyond all that, the instructions for entry were excellent and fool proof, as were the instructions for where stuff (like toilet paper) was stored, or how to operate the dishwasher. Nothing was left to chance. We would stay at this property again in a heartbeat! One thing I'd like to pass on to future renters is you should check out the "26 Beach Restaurant". Fantastic food!

Great location, fun decor and beautiful kitchen and bath

We had a very nice 3-night stay...house is in a great location, barely two miles from Venice Beach and all it has to offer. The house is set up well for two to four people, I would say. The décor is a lot of fun, with a lot of good-natured kitsch, music memorabilia and classic cinema posters. The amount of care that went into the kitchen and bath remodels is obvious, with high-quality surfaces, fixtures and appliances that I would be happy to have in my own home. The bedrooms are more ordinary but perfectly serviceable...we didn't come here to hang out in the bedrooms, so to speak, so not a big deal to us. Backyard and landscaping are very attractive, though we didn't spend much time there. Spencer was in the guest house during our stay, and he was a very friendly and gracious host...our only regret is not getting to meet Mijo, his famous canine sidecar-riding partner! We would definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area, thanks for sharing your house with us!

Cute bungalow close-ish to Venice Beach

I was looking for someplace to have casual debrief time after meetings in Los Angeles, and this was perfect. 3 of us stayed in 2 bedrooms and we were able to have other people over to visit. Place felt very airy and spacious even though it wasn't huge. Very thoughtfully stylish and well maintained. Great little backyard with hammock and chairs for yet another area of us to hang out. Master bedroom had queen bed for two, I slept in 2nd bedroom and slept on the futon, which was a bit hard on the hips. Should have not been so lazy, and should have set up the air mattress instead, so that's on me. Very close to lots of great restaurants, shops and not too far (mile-ish?) from Venice Beach. We'll come again.
