Great location (obviously) - close to the beach and to cafes and restaurants (Urth Cafe, Shoop's Deli and Jinya Ramen were all excellent and within 1 block). The place is part of a quirky, surfer/hippie/gnomes mini-compound with a cool vibe that we liked, but is not for everybody. Set back from the street, the room was quiet. The only downsides were a softer bed than we prefer, and a narrow, split-level bathroom (shower a step above the rest of the room) with lighting too dim for my wife to easily apply make-up.
