Great style, great location!

We loved staying in this hip home! GREAT location, walked everywhere. Parking is a bit of a challenge but we always managed to find a spot. The owner was very attentive with any issues. We greatly appreciated that! Comfortable and spacious and well decorated! Private and secure. Lovely all the way around.

Graduation Weekend

We were in town for a collage graduation. Our family of 6 adults enjoyed the house and the location. There was plenty of space and walkable access to both Abbott Kinney shops and restaurants and the beach. Trickiest part of the stay was the on property parking. It’s very tight, even for compact cars and took planning and careful maneuvering.

value for money issue

while the house is nice the value for money is below expectation as we experienced essential items missing (i.e. paper towels, broom, tissues, detergent for laundry) or not working ( no gas in grill, no lighter to) or very old and not properly working (i.e. dryer smells and does not really dry). One would simply expect more for 950 USD per night before tax, cleaning, etc.

Amazing location, great house

The house was perfect. You couldn’t have a better location next to all the shops and restaurants on Abbot Kinney, plus you are next to the beach, dog park, and much more. We cooked dinner one night and hung out on the deck and relaxed. It’s a cool place. Would recommend it.

Nice space with cool California vibes! Lacking a few essentials.

Great spot to vacation! The property was a short 5 min walk to the Venice boardwalk. The alleyway got a little loud at night but I felt comfortable behind the secure gate and wall. The property was nice, the bedding was soft and relaxing. The steam shower was amazing! There were plenty of towels and shower essentials and the robes were a nice touch. We couldn’t ever find a broom so that would be helpful to have just because of all the sand. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots, pans and dishes. The only thing I would say as constructive criticism is the place needs a deep deep clean and also some reorganization. Most drawers, cabinets and shelves were just stuffed full of random things.

Unique home and stunning outdoor spaces

This home is unique, safe, aesthetically creative and has private and stunning outdoor spaces. First the communication with the owner and property manager was excellent. We were visiting one of our adult children who is living in LA over the Christmas holidays. Check in was smooth and instructions were clear. We were 3 in total and the house could easily accommodate the 6 max that I believe the description outlines. This home is clearly owned by a creative person: interesting artwork, photography and books galore. The kitchen is small but in an open plan first floor. The oven was not able to be unlocked during our stay but houses have quirks and we adapted. The weather was rainy and so we couldn’t enjoy the amazing rooftop, huge and comfortable first floor deck/grill/seating. In good weather, there is so much to enjoy outdoors with this property. We felt safe with the sliding gates that secure the property. Again, communication was excellent, a sense of welcome was evident. We felt the price was more than fair for this unique home. Thank you for sharing your home.

Photography Filled Venice Beach Hideaway

Artfully decorated Venice Beach sanctuary tucked in an alley close to Abbot Kinney shops and restaurants and a few short blocks from the beach. Loved the outdoor deck, jewel box of a kitchen, nicely appointed bathrooms with a European feel and wonderful upstairs area with plenty of room to sleep 4. Bold and beautiful photography covers many of the walls, with special treats viewed through exterior windows, along with interesting and eclectic objets d'art throughout the 2-level space. Oval bathtub with wonderful lighting made for a zen experience. Top deck is perfect for soaking up the Cali sunshine. Owner/manager were extremely fair in requests and thoroughly responsive on app. No fault of owner, but location of house is somewhat noisy as it sits off of Main Street and with open windows, there was quite a bit of activity. Do note that alley ways in this area are narrow for pulling a car into the provided gated parking space. Definitely check out this property; it's a sweet pad and we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay.
