VeniceCalifornia home to the artist and the architect, the surfers the skaters and the bikers. Here you see the eclectic and the moneyed, mixing on the streets of Venice as they never have before. Walk thru the neighborhoods and you see a dash of the old beach bungalow amidst the new multi million dollar moderns. Shopping is a serious affair with the new upscale boutiques on Abbot Kinney Blvd.

And ride your bike. It is easier to park these days than your car?unless it is a Smart Car and you park it on top of a showroom. We still have our gangs and our druggies, but they hang out in the alleys of some nicer digs. Venice has come a long way in the last 10 years since I have been here. Some for the better and maybe some not, but it is all home to us. No doubt it was bound to happen sometime and here it is. Venice the multi cultural multimillion dollar neighborhood. Welcome. I hope you enjoy the ride!!!!

Green lodging acknowledges the amazing work Venice locals have done to provide sustainable healthy lodgings for visitors. Their commitment to sustainable living is achieved in style at the Eco village cottages and the Venice Tree house.  Stay close to the action in qauint Venice style.  Both offer convienient locations in local neighborhoods. If you are coming to Venice for a visit, and want something other than the hotel experience, this is for you.
