Friends In High Places

Friends In High Places: California

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.

Home truths:
* There is no air-conditioning in this home
* While there is a breakfast bar, there is no indoor dining area to seat all four guests
* Guests seeking a more lively immediate area may want to look elsewhere
