I spent 2 1/2 weeks in this Venice house for a family wedding. The house is in a fabulous location, close to Lincoln and Venice Boulevards, near Santa Monica, Marina del Rey and the beach, but on a quiet side street. There is a lovely front garden where I tended to spend my outside time, and a bigger back yard. Both are enclosed which is important if you bring your dogs, as I did. The house itself is a pleasure, a very adequate two bedroom decorated in a somewhat quirky french provincial style. The kitchen is very well-equipped, easy to cook in, and the owner offers you the use of any of the vegetables growing in the yard. If you are looking for something slick and new, this is not the house for you, but if you are looking for something that feels like a real home, this might be it. I would be happy to return.
