This was a good location for our family trip to the Venice Beach/Santa Monica area. I would give this place a 3 star "hotel rating". My biggest qualm with the place was the tight parking spot. It also seemed as though the place was cleaned up in a hurry before we arrived (full kitchen trash can, extra sheets crumpled on the closet floor along with the blowup bed...). We booked the place last minute so overall I'm glad we got a solid place for our family to stay.
