Frank's cozy guesthouse was wonderful! He was very communicative and quick to reply when inquiring for his place. The check in/check out process was very easy. Frank's place was extremely cozy. It was about .4 miles away from all the shops/eateries along venice's famous Abbott Kinney road. I am familiar with the LA area having grown up here, and frank's location was definitely ideal for someone who wants to stay somewhere a little more low key/quiet, but still close enough to the touristy spots of Venice/santa Monica.
