Cozy little resort within walking distance to the beach, Venice Boardwalk, close to many restaurants, and nearby shopping. The rooms are comfortable and provide basic amenities and you have your own parking spot or a garage.

Great location like 5 minute walk to beach. It's right where Venice Beach begins, like literally where the food and Muscle Beach is. We spent 2 days at the beach and walking in the area up to Santa Monica. Shops, markets, supermarkets, etc. Are relatively close. There was a parking space provided for unit 1A where we stayed which was absolutely clutch since we drove to Venice Beach. Unit was very clean and has coffee maker, cookware plates, etc. There is a washer and dryer in unit which is also very convenient for people traveling. My one complaint would be that on unit 1A, there are patio tables directly outside the bedroom window and in the morning other residents sat at them talking loudly, watching videos on phone, smoking cigarettes. Not a deal breaker but a mild annoyance. Still give 5/5 and would stay here again.

If it were all about location, this place would be five stars. Steps from the canals, a short walk to excellent coffee, shopping, and the infamous Erehwon, the beach, this quaint apartment offers excellent location value.
It's the tedious "Airbnb" style rules that complicate the arrive process - double-check the arrival hrs. I had to call/text for several minutes to get into the place. The off-site manager was very responsive, possibly because me showing up for check in at 4pm shouldn't have been such a hassle. The building itself isn't manned. For a five night stay, I didn't see any staff or a cleaning crew once. Again, more tedious rules buried in the motel's instructions about cleaning. So if you run out of their special coffee pouches on the first day, you're on your own unless you want to pay (can't recall but it was $$$$ for cleaning service). So recycle your towels, keep the room clean, make your bed, try to keep the sand out. Water pressure is poor. The sink leaks. The kitchenette is well stocked with a working toaster, micro, fridge, dishes. The room was clean, bright, ventilated with working heater/ac. Parking is good for a compact car only. You'll need to park your range rover out front with the other derelict vehicles (this is Venice after all. They were parked out front during my whole stay) with the usual group of sketchy campers hanging around out front. Young families may seek safer areas. Internet connection not reliable for biz.

If facilities were working it would be much higher rated but AC was out for our 4 night stay and the room got very humid. The WiFi was also spotty and the tv only connected via the Internet.
Cons- small room, bit rough around the edges, facilities out of order
Pros- lovely location on Venice canals, comfortable bed.

4 stars because they only tell you after reserving that the assigned parking spot fits smaller cars. Luckily had a mid-size i was able to fit. It's hard to find parking around

The room smelled real strong of air freshener. The floors were sticky. The couch and chairs were cheep and uncomfortable. The heat would turn itself up real hot several times a day.
The bed was great( reason for the 2 stars)

No reception, we forgot to contact the hotel in advance, and hotels.com didn't provide contact info from us so we had to call when we arrived. But Laurence sent us everything we needed when we called. Overall very nice apartment and very clean.

Mostly good. Just little things: fridge is weak, nowhere close to get ice. Plugs fall out of wall outlet. TV set up for Spanish: Roku wouldn’t change it so I watched shows on my iPhone. It’s nice being able to walk the canals.

Great location, quiet, and having a kitchenette available was perfect. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was great.
I didn't like the half shower door. The bathroom floor was soaked and slippery. It would have been nice to have a loveseat or something other than two mesh chairs in the small living space. Also, it isn't completely clear which units have which amenities. Pictures showed different setups. I would recommend being really clear about that in the listing. For example, I expected a washer and dryer because some pictures showed one. I came to realize this is because the units differ.
Overall, this was a great place to stay. I would stay there again.

La casa è migliorabile ma comunque ok per 3 giorni.
La doccia ha un solo getto che ogni volta ti fa allagare il bagno.
In cucina manca uno scolino per i piatti bagnati
Lo staff non ci ha fatto trovare la lavatrice nonostante ci avesse detto che sarebbe arrivata la signora delle pulizie a ripararla.
