Private, Clean LOFT w PRIVATE COURTYARD/ENTRANCE in Venice Beach w Kitchen

This suite has a good location in Venice Beach, close to grocery and drug stores. Finding a variety of restaurants within walking distance, however, was a bit more challenging. If you like Mexican and/or BBQ, you’re in luck. Beyond that, you’ll need a vehicle.This suite is perfectly sized for two people and we enjoyed the thoughtful design in such a small area. We felt completely safe, despite the alley access and also enjoyed the small outdoor area.Richard and Judy were great hosts and addressed our inquiry with lightspeed!

My friend and I had a very fun stay in this exceptionally clean and well appointed, albeit small, rental unit. Although small, it is well laid out and very comfortable.Access is a bit complicated but the complications ensure an incredible amount of security and safety. A person would be hard pressed to find a more secure abode one and a half blocks off of Lincoln Boulevard.Its proximity to supermarkets shops and restaurants is wonderful.Design choices made on the interior were very appealing. How often do you have quality original artwork hung beautifully in a rental unit?The very small and enclosed courtyard area does really not get any direct sunlight throughout the day. A person has to exit the courtyard and spend time in the secure alley to get any sun while at the unit. Also, the only window that is clear and not frosted is a high awning window that does not reveal much of the outdoor environment. If you are claustrophobic, this might become an issue.I have asked myself if I would stay here again and the answer is yes. The positives outweigh the negatives. My friend and I were out in the city so much that not a lot of time was spent in our home away from home but it was a great place to come home too at the end of a long day.

This unit worked out perfectly for me. Location was great for getting around with a rental car. As other reviews, mentioned, the entry is through a gated alley. It was no problem for me, but I could see it being difficult for a single female traveler. Otherwise, the unit was great, and I would recommend for a quick stay in the Venice beach area.

Cool, secret spot with a fun scavenger hunt find. Admirable design and footprint for two people. Thanks for attending to the request for check-in instructions once VRBO reached out.
