Exploring from your holiday apartment in Venice

Originally Venice was a separate city, built in 1905 as a seaside resort, before it was incorporated into Los Angeles in the 1920s. It became quite rundown until the 1950s when efforts began to restore the area but perhaps this period was key in Venice becoming a more Bohemian area of the city. Venice is perfect for those who are looking for a holiday apartment in Los Angeles with a bit of independent character. Today Venice is certainly one of the most interesting and eclectic areas of Los Angeles, with an educated and affluent population. Abbot Kinney Boulevard is a good example of the restoration of the area, previously derelict and now a good area of shopping, restaurants, bars and galleries. Venice Beach is a major attraction, will all manner of street theatre artists, the boardwalk and Muscle Beach.

An alternative to your Venice holiday accommodation

If you are looking for a more typical Los Angeles neighbourhood then a holiday apartment in Studio City might fit the bill. This is a wealthy residential neighbourhood north of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The area is bisected by its main thoroughfare, Ventura Boulevard. This street has lots of independent stores and restaurants and is where most of the area’s businesses are located. The area originally got its name as the location for an early film studio and the entertainment industry is still well represented. CBS Studio Center is located in Radford Avenue and is a major facility, with 18 sound studios, office space and more than 200 dressing rooms.
