This is the home of our boho Venice dreams – a bright, leafy bungalow furnished impeccably with shabby chic style. The private garden has a lovely old-fashioned patio set for enjoying morning coffee and pastries, while the firepit can warm up a couple of friends on cooler nights. Perfect for a couple or solo traveller, the bright inside spaces of this home seamlessly blend together. We love the paneled windows that line the living area and kitchen, bringing in plenty of light and greenery. The bedroom continues the fairytale feel – every element of design is pitch-perfect, from the bedspread to the gilded mirror. And the gold tub certainly has us craving a glamorous soak. As far as location, this home continues to hit the nail on the head. You’ll be just a ten-minute walk from the excellent restaurants and shopping of Abbot Kinney and less than half an hour from Venice beach (or a quick ten-minute bike ride). On the other side of you, Lincoln Boulevard has grown into a busy hub of delicious restaurants and boutiques that give Abbot Kinney a run for its money – you’ll be a quick six-minute walk from most of them.
