My husband and I wanted a nice place, budget friendly, and close to the ocean. Once I found Donna's condo and looked through the reviews and photos I was sold. I highly recommend this place and was very satisfied with our overall stay. Takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the ocean OR you can ride those awesome scooters that are everywhere. We didn't have any issues finding and if I had any questions Donna answered me right away. If you are looking at staying at Venice Beach then I'd say stay here. There is traffic noise due to this place being right next to the street however if this doesn't bother you then you are good to go. It didn't bother my husband and I at all.
