    Super comfy and welcoming, pods were an amazing touch for comfort and privacy. The best beds I’ve slept on in a hostel ever. The manager Dave and staff members were really nice and helpful and welcoming

    Pods with AC, the views and location on the beach, the staff 👌🏼

    Stay Open is such a unique concept and there needs to be more like it! They’ve curated the marketing to attract digital nomads and the co working and living community which leads to an exceptional experience right in the heart of Venice with respectful guests and a zen vibe. Dave who manages the property is top class and always on hand for any questions or recommendations. I can’t recommend this place enough! Will be back 100% A*

    The only thing was that the air conditioner was not really working and it was really hot.

    The place is beautiful and quiet. The beds are comfortable. They have complementary bikes for you.

    The place is beautifully designed and cleaned daily, so everything is really clean, the common areas are just beautiful. There are even working stations, the wifi is fast and the kitchen is fully equipped. The view from the rooftop is 10/10, and the people staying there are nice and clean. But more than everything else, STAFF are what makes this place truly amazing. I stayed 2 times, and both times, they went out of their way to help me out. Also, you can rent a bicycle or longboard, which is useful, and the location is 10/10. You won't be disappointed!

    Can’t really think of anything.

    This spot is conveniently located on the beach with easy access to the boardwalk, restaurants & buses. I enjoyed the ocean view and the relaxing vibe it offers. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I will stay here again!

    The price is good for the area but expensive for general standards. No one's fault but something to keep in mind.

    Amazing facilities, really nice managers. Shame I couldn't stay longer

    This place absolutely exceeded my expectations. I had never stayed in shared accommodation before and loved the concept of semi private facilities and shared space; a great chance to connect with and meet others whilst maintaining your own privacy when needed. The vibe seems to attract cool, respectful people, and this was the ideal space for me to ‘live away from home’ whilst working, whilst also meeting new people. Location is ideal, right on the beach, and the William and David were so welcoming, always helpful and great chat! I’ve already recommended this space to friends and will be back soon when I am next visiting LA :) Charly x

    Everything about the property is awesome. It’s a four story beachfront mansion literally on the boardwalk. The bed pods are super cool. No need to feel uncomfortable about that. The roof balcony is amazing.

    Literally nothing!

    I had a very lovely stay at STAY OPEN. Everything was great! The pods were surprisingly so comfortable and the common facilities were well-maintained all the time. William is so helpful and nice, the place is super calm, the location is so convenient, and everyone was respectful. I also think the place attracts only awesome people! LOVED LOVED IT! Will definitely stay there when I come back!
