We stayed here for 10 days and had an amazing time. Rose Ann is an amazing host and you can see from the outset that she is an airbnb pro. I dont know too much about the public transport in the area as we had a rental but venice beach and santa monica are a very short drive away, traffic dependant. You are also right beside marina del ray which is lovely. Rose Ann has lots of recommendations which I suggest you try. Definitely try the jacuzzi. Amazing location for us and a fabolous host. I highly recommend this place :)
