Suzan's place was just right for our week stay, tucked behind a secure locked courtyard in a nice neighborhood. The apartment was clean and well appointed with good lighting and easy street parking. There is a very thorough notebook with information about everything in the local area. Our host Suzanne was friendly and helpful and we definitely hope to return soon.

Suzan’s property is beautiful and reflective of the care she puts in to make sure that her guests are comfortable and have a positive experience. Truly a comfy little home away from home! I especially appreciated the cleanliness and the full kitchen. And as a solo traveler, the attention to guest safety while staying on the property put me completely at ease. Suzan is very communicative and is a wonderful host. I will definitely stay here again when I am in the area.

This cottage was comfortable and cozy for my husband and I. It had everything we needed to relax after days spent visiting family nearby and LA sites. The beach was close enough to walk to as was grocery and other stores and restaurants. Suzan was there to greet us and showed us around the place in case we had any questions. We found this cottage to be quiet and private in a safe residential area. Perfect for us!

The cottage was quaint and relaxing and the host Suzan was very friendly and accomodating of my little chug Wilbur. The gated patio area outside the cottage is perfect if you have little ones, furbaby or otherwise, as it adds a degree of security and privacy. Also loved the option to open the windows in the evening and enjoy the cool breeze of the nearby ocean. If you travel with children, Marine Park just a few blocks away is a great option!

About the host

Hosted by Suzan Allbritton

Host profile image
I’ve been in Venice Beach for 20 years now. My husband passed away and that is what started me on my hosting journey. I enjoy having people around, and I feel like my guests have brought me and my property back to life.

Why they chose this property

When we were shopping for a home, it was either Venice or Silver Lake. I’m glad we landed up in Venice as it’s so much cooler and I love that. We live in a quiet area with easy parking, but close to the 😎 of Venice and Santa Monica.

What makes this property unique

I’ve been told that the quiet space that surrounds the cottage feels a little bit like an oasis away from the busy parts of LA. The backyard is green and the fountain brings birds from hummingbirds to crows. If you’re lucky, you might be able to taste a passion fruit. They seem to bloom in fall.
