Podshare is perfect because it is located very close to Venice beach and places where you can eat very well. The beds are very comfy and despite is a hostal you feel secure.

Costantino, United States of America

I never met a more pleasant staff then here at Pod Share. No matter what time of day or question they are the friendliest staff you would ever encounter.

Jennifer, United States of America

Nice piece of property with a basketball court tables tennis and places to lay out and relax. The beds were comfortable and the showers were really nice... overall a great experience especially if your traveling alone!!!

Énio, United States of America

Everything and everyone was truly awesome from the front-of-house operations to the very neat lofty space to relax. It was a rainy day during my short visit. The rain on the skylights was so relaxing, I got a really good night's rest. The guest were very mannered.

Tim, United States of America

Great location. They offered secure parking. They put on a music show during the day.

Pasorn, Thailand

Mixed review here, the photos looked amazing and the staff were very nice, the location was good and the yard area was amazing.

Tash, New Zealand

I loved how close everything was to the property & yet being so close to downtown it didn’t feel sketchy. The hostel itself felt for the most part safe .. there was a staff member that was awake cleaning things and I’m guessing also keeping an eye on the place.

Pilar, United States of America

Cool environment. Friendly people, lots of outdoor space.

“Quiet hostel in great location ”

Could do with having a few more toilets and showers, and more privacy on the shower/toilet doors. Kitchen needs to be stocked with a few more bowls, glasses etc.
The hostel is in a great location in Venice just a short walk from Abbott Kinney street, Venice Canals and the beach. The set up of being able to book a double dorm bed was great. The social spaces are lovely too.

Totally exceeded expectations! The style, design, layout of the place is fantastic! So trendy and cool. The location was amazing - so close to Venice Beach! And I really enjoyed sitting outside in the sun to eat our free breakfast! Everyone kept the noise down and were so respectful of each other. Best hostel I have ever stayed in!

The parking lot does not have a lot of space, we could not park there at night as it was crowded. We were able to park on the street, but not so close to the podshare.
The podShare have an amazing staff. Their facilities are huge, modern and everything there is based on respect for others privacy. It's a great experience of shared living.

“Better for a short stay, a bit expensive for no privacy.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 10 nights
No door at the bathrooms, one leads directly to the reception, the other one to the dormitory. This is truly embarrassing. Absolutely no privacy. The doors of restrooms and showers are really "light". Fridges are shared with your pod # for your private food but this doesn't avoid to be stolen (but not sure from another guest). Some parts of the accommodation are rented to strangers who can go back and forth next to your pod where you have all your personal belongings. I didn't feel they were in a safe place. Free rental of bikes but you have to pay $5 a day for the bike lock (which is not what someone will take in his luggage). The same for the lockers. You can rent one but need the lock or you'll have to pay for one. Free parking but always full. No blinds so I used to be woken up with the first sunlights. Equipments look a bit old (sofas, faucets, ...). Restrooms met some problems and 2 of them have been out of order for a day or 2. Venice beach is a nice place for a walk but far from lot of touristic places in Los Angeles. Missing touristic information as I use to have in all other places I stayed.
Nice staff. Nice garden. Nice place in general. Not far from Venice Beach so can be good for running, biking, or simply walking along the seaside. Not far from the airport. Beds are comfortable. Appreciate the USB plugs in the pod. No need any adaptor to charge your phone.

The toilet doors. I don’t know if it’s just a US thing or if Australians are spoiled by having doors were you can’t look someone in the eye while peeing. A teeny bit more privacy/sound muffling for the toilet would be great.
It was something a little more than a hostel. Cute idea and community building for travellers.

Someone stole my beer from the fridge but that's the risk you take in a backpackers :)
This hostel is expensive for a hostel but worth it and much cheaper compared to other forms of accommodation. It is the nicest hostel I have been to. Really nice facilities/amenities, clean, quiet, relaxing, good service, comfortable beds (loved that we could have a double!) and still quit private regardless of being one open area. Towels, soaps, shampoos, conditioners all provided which is a really nice touch. Parking on site is especially handy. Just a few minutes to Venice beach!
