Everyone that we interacted with at the property was great. There are some residents as well as a few other airbnb rentals and the common area is used regularly by all. Everyone was great and we can't say enough about Snickers. That dog is wonderful. There are also a few cats, some more personable that others. The property is very close to a variety of places to get food, three blocks from the beach, very short walk to Santa Monica Pier, and only a little bit further the other way to Venice Beach.
