The property is located 10 minutes walk from the beach and 5 minutes walk from the Venice Canal. There are about 6-8 parking space onsite available for parking. There are plenty of outdoors space/seating for social networking with other travelers. We stayed in a queen bed. There is plenty of space above and below the bed for storing your luggage and backpack. The facility was clean . The people we met were friendly and artistic. We will stay there again when we are in the area.

The vibe, the energy, the people n location, the places

Jay United States of America

The staff and the other travelers were so welcoming. As well the concept of a section being placed for each traveler and also another section for community shared food and supplies, that was neat!

Venessa United States of America

Very comfortable bed, great location, free parking and nice yard. Everything was great!

Ahmet Turkey

I like the dorm setup. It is very clever. Although its "bunks" they have it designed to give a lot of space and privacy. The yard is huge with several different areas to enjoy privacy with nature or group sports or both.

Sandra United States of America

  • Regarding parking... How bad can it get w/ the "first come first serve" thing? Is it ever an issue for anyone, or is the parking generally plentiful?

    We usually never have an issue with parking, however there is so much free street parking on the streets around us that if we're full, it's still not an issue!
