A 5-star value in light of location and price
This apartment was an excellent value -- $100/night (including all fees – presumably less per night for a longer stay) in Venice, CA – a price not easily found in that location. Air conditioned – also not so easily found in that location. (Not central. However, the window-type a/c in the front room chilled that room quickly and within a short time the cool air had reached the bedroom.) The ceiling fan in the front room was also very effective.
OTOH, the apartment is not the Ritz. The kitchen area is quite small, the bathroom door when open precludes access either to the sink or between the bedroom and the front room, and the furnishings, though very clean and completely functional, look a bit old. But, again OTOH, different tastes for different folks w/r/t décor.
Bottom line – excellent value.
