We had a great time in LA and were in the area to attend Graduation ceremonies at LMU. Juana's place is super convenient for that and is close to all the action at Venice Beach. Pictures are accurate, we love the artsy/loft style places. Secured, off-street parking nice, as we had a rental car. Great restaurants and bars within walking distance (we ate at Mercede's Grill and Canal Club). Sad we did not get to meet Juana as she was out of town, but we were able to communicate with her via email and she had arranged for a friend to meet with us to get keys, etc. which worked out great. Would repeat if we were to stay in the area again.
