The place is nice and cozy. There isn't much space but the use of space is very clever. It's in the middle of Venice and so everything within MDR and Santa Monica is very accessible. Checking in was very easy. Parking is located in an alley in front of the entrance. To get in, you have to unlock the gate and lock it back up. You will need to either back in when getting there or back out when leaving. It was alright for me since I have a mid size card with a back-up camera but I think would be difficult if you had a bigger car or no back-up camera. I was excited about this place initially because of the location and the bikes but we ended up renting bikes because the bike was too big for my girlfriend. The floors are heated which is a nice touch. The trash can in the kitchen is a bit small so I wasn't sure where to put overflowing trash.
