Carol's place is cozy and super cute, just like in the pictures. I was working remotely while my son took a class at UCLA and it had everything we needed. The local streets are full of charming houses, and it's a great walking area. You are just steps away from the canals, which are so picturesque. Venice Beach itself also walking distance but much busier! Pretty touristy in the summer with lots of international visitors. Would definitely stay here again.
