This is a nice Spot between Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach closer to the pier and pretty much within walking distance of a lot of great stuff. Park you car and forget it while you are here as you don't need it.
You must walk down a narrow set of stairs and the room has no view so if you plan to hang out with a view this is not the place but if the weather is clear or you have pets this place fits the bill perfectly. About a half block from the beach with basically no view of the sand so if you are looking for a view you will probably need to spend a lot more money...
There is a nice common area with a BBQ to sit with your dogs and have a bottle of wine.
Lisa is quick to reply to you and we would not hesitate to stay here again.
