Set aback from the hustle and bustle of the more popular Venice neighbourhoods, this charming home provides a peaceful stay in a residential area, while still being a short drive or bike ride away from the beach. The tasteful design of this home has optimised the space, utilising the high-ceilings and wooden beams. The art collection is also a distinctive feature, as most of the works are by friends of the host or local artists. The home's character also extends to the large outdoor area which is ideal for socialising on lazy summer evenings.

Enjoy Rustic California at the Rose Cafe
A hangout with a little pretension but good enough food and drinks to make up for it. Take those drinks to the back patio for a more relaxed atmosphere.
Walk the cliffs in Palisades Park
Take a stroll along the sandstone bluffs overlooking the Santa Monica Bay. Stop by the statue of St. Monica, Santa Monica's namesake.
Hard-shell heaven at Tito's Tacos
A local favorite for classic LA tacos. The hard shell with lettuce, ground beef, cheese and salsa is perfect.
Paddle Board Through The Venice Canals
These historic canals have all the charm and history to resemble the appearance of Venice, Italy.
Enjoy breakfast or brunch at Superba Food and Bread
Superba offers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, however it is best known for breakfast and brunch. Go here for great coffee, fresh made bread, pastries and croissants. You won't be disappointed!
French leaning wine bar, bistro, coffee shop
A good place to go for a quick bite, a coffee or glass of wine over which one may mull the balance between good and evil and maybe get some work done on that script you've been thinking up.

American breakfast & lunch in a spacious, diner-style venue with ocean views, plus a bar & patio.
