Jana's place was exactly as it looks-- no more, no less. For a solo traveler like myself, the spot was PERFECT. My favorite part about this place was the bikes on-site; this spot is only a few blocks from the Venice sign, the boardwalk, the beach, and all of the cool places on Abbott-Kinney. I had such a blast riding from Venice down to Santa Monica and exploring the residential parts of Venice. While I didn't see or meet Jana on my stay, her directions were good and specific and made my brief stay a breeze.
I highly recommend Jana's place for solo travelers, especially if the weather is good, since there is an amazing pool, ping pong... and an outdoor shower.
Would love to make it back to California again, and would definitely crash here!
