Everything is perfect with this place: location near Venice beach will have you near the airpot and Sta Monica; easy check in; privacy (we have our own entrance); sparkling clean (linen and furniture look like new); many amenities (wine glasses, bottle opener, soap, tissue, heater, AC -- everything you need); and an amazing host that is detailed oriented and careful. I'm a heavy sleeper and was not bothered with the noise, although as you can see in the listing, there's some occasional noise. I strongly recommend Ellen's place.
