This is my second time spending time at Barbara's place and it was even better the second time around. Location, everything you need - including beach chairs which I used for the first time this go around. Close to great restaurants as well as grocery stores including Whole Foods - which is a 7 min walk from Rose Avenue; and the beach is less than a minute walk. Apartment is super clean and has everything you need for your stay. All the reviews are accurate and although it is not large it is fully functional. I am definitely staying there again next trip to L.A.. The bus system is fantastic so be sure to check out the Culver City as well as Big Blue Busses - the latter will get you to Santa Monica in a very timely manner. You can also take the Culver City bus up to Lincoln [1$ and 5 mins] and grab the Big Blue Bus to LAX [$1.25 or $2.50 for Express]. There is also a Starbucks across the street which is a great plus.
