FJ's place is brilliantly located, within 30 minutes walk of both Venice Beach and Santa Monica Boardwalk. The Ocean Park beach and several great restaurants are even closer (10 minutes walk) and FJ was helpful and the check in process very smooth. The place itself is more spacious than it appears in photos and has the essentials provided, but do check the amenities list carefully if there is something you really need - we missed having a hairdryer and beach towels and the lack of Aircon affected us more than expected. The property is an older building and this is reflected in some of the decor (such as paint chipped off the walls and mildew around bathroom grouting and silicone). But overall we found the location and convenience mitigated these issues
