AirVenice was a funky delight. A relatively ideal spot to hang your hat while taking in Venice, LA. The beach is across the street, I mean, literally. Santa Monica pier is about a long walk away, and easily done. The Venice pier is equial distance in the opposite direction. Decent restaurants are virtually everywhere. Venice Beach is pure LA, laid-back and cool. If you're going there, you could do a whole lot worse than doing a few nights at AirVenice, an okay hotel on the edge of the dazzling Pacific Ocean.
