My husband and I met our two adult children in Venice Beach for a 5-day holiday and had the good fortune to find Sydney's and Kevin's place. It's just a fantastic, beautifully appointed and cared-for find.
Kevin met us to show us around and acquaint us with the neighborhood. The apartment was perfect for us! It's immaculate (coming from an OCD cleaner!), tastefully furnished, welcoming, and comfortable. Lovely touches abound-- such as bottled water in the fridge, chocolates on the coffee table, bath products that make you leave the ones you brought unpacked. The kitchen is stocked with basics so you can easily make a meal at home, if you can resist all the good restaurants nearby. The bed and bath linens are luxurious and plentiful. We enjoyed all the gathering spaces-- the living room with TV and couches, and the dining room, as well as the sweet and private deck and fenced garden. Visiting local relatives had plenty of room to socialize with us, and were impressed by our lovely getaway space! The Garden Oasis is a very short stroll from the beach and beach walk, the Venice Canals, bike rentals, a skate park, and Muscle Beach. Highly recommended!
