Venice Beach - Extended Stay - Urban Lodge

This gorgeous property is like a masterpiece! It's exactly as described. The attention to detail is impeccable and combine the level of detail with the perfect location, right on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, makes this a true treasure in Venice. Can't wait to visit again!

There is not a better location in Venice Beach than this property, and it is an architectural gem. We will definitely return.

We travelled over the 2018 holidays with our adult children. We wanted a place where anyone could leave home and walk to shops, coffee, restaurants, etc. - certainly not easily done in LA. Michael's place was perfectly located for this. Abbot Kinney is the main street in Venice, bustling with great shops and restaurants, yet it's only a few miles to Ocean Ave and the heart of Santa Monica and a few blocks to the beach. The house has all the amenities you could need, and was laid out perfectly for our family. Michael was a gracious host - although he was away during our stay, we were greeted by his house manager who was very helpful for the walk through when we checked in. It was a truly memorable and enjoyable vacation. Our drive back to LAX took about 20 minutes - it's that close to the airport, helpful if you have an early morning flight. We'd like to return someday. Highly recommend!

This is a unique property--impressive and perfectly designed for the setting. Large rooms, remarkable use of patio and terrace spaces. Indoor and outdoor living fused beautifully. Location could not be better. I stayed for almost 2 weeks and never needed a car. The apartment is beautifully appointed and spotless. The owner made clear his hope that I would treat the space gently, and I did. If you're looking for a beach crash pad where you can bump around and leave your marks, then look elsewhere. This is a gem and should be treated as such.

Outstanding location. Outstanding property. Even more outstanding owner! My wife and two children and I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property. We were supposed to stay at another home away property which fell through. We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property instead. Michael, the owner, was very accommodating to us. The property is even more amazing in person than the pictures. It is an absolutely fantastic place to stay for your time in Venice! The property itself is spotless. Right in the middle of all the activities you would want in Venice. Not to mention the property is architecturally amazing!

This is a great space in a perfect location. Our group of four adults loved being where the action is in downtown Venice, but because of the design of the apartment, we were not bothered by street noise. Michael answered all of our questions about area restaurants and other attractions promptly and, though he was out of town during our visit, made sure that his assistant met us and served as a more than adequate backup. Because of the stairs, this is not a place for anyone with climbing issues, but otherwise, it is terrific. The two indoor parking spaces were a huge plus. We hope to return.

We really enjoyed our 4 days here in Venice. The location was excellent for walking the shops on Abbot Kinney. The beach was just a short walk away. Santa Monica was a 5-10 minute drive or $10 Uber. Michael and Mary were very attentive and easy to work with and our deposit was promptly refunded within a week. We would stay here again!

What a wonderful space! I highly recommend staying here on your visit to Los Angeles! My family and I rented the space for a week through Thanksgiving and enjoyed every minute – we are counting down to our next trip! We comfortably shared the space with 6 people. The architecture and design is cool & hip just like the street it’s located on– it’s much more than just an apartment. It’s airy, light, spacious and clean – green nooks with beautiful succulent plants – you move constantly between outdoors/indoors within the space. The bedrooms are roomy, the kitchen has all the appliances you need, the dining room is perfect for a Thanksgiving meal and my favorite part - the rooftop with an outdoor fire place is ideal for enjoying a book in the sun or a cozy drink in the evening! The apartment is conveniently located on one of my favorite streets, Abbot Kinney – fun shopping, excellent coffee & delicious food (highly recommend Gjelina’s) and a close walk/bike ride to the beach. There is also room to safely and conveniently park a car and bikes – super convenient in LA. Thank you to Michael (the fantastic owner) for sharing his amazing home with us. I certainly hope to be back soon!

I had the great fortune to be able to spend two full months in Venice at Space B this summer. I can't recommend the home or the folks associated with it strongly enough: from the thoughtful outfitting (everything you need and nothing more) to the beautiful decor to the owner and his team, this is an above-and-beyond vacation option. One thing worth mentioning is that the photos really don't do the innovative nature of the home justice. The layout is a bit too complex to describe easily in photos or even in a floorplan. The layout allows you to move between indoor spaces and an outdoor courtyard for a real LA feeling.

We enjoyed every minute of our extended stay at Space B. The location is hip and full of energy. It was so fun to be on Abbot Kinney, truly one of the coolest neighborhoods in LA. Space B is a gem- the owner is meticulous in every detail in the home from the linens to the electronics, the high end cookware/utensils in kitchen to the spotless interiors and exterior areas. We enjoyed all the bright natural light throughout the day and the indoor/outdoor living--just the way one imagines LA living to be. Anything we needed was attended to immediately. Honestly, we cannot say enough good things about Michael and his amazing home!
