We were a party of four adults and the accommodation was just fine. We liked having the private outdoor patio space for meals and relaxing. We chose not to cook but we could have if we wished. The accommodation was just as advertised. Having two bikes available was an added bonus.

The area is well served by bus – for instance it two easy buses to LACMA and one express to downtown. We also used public transit to get to and from LAX. It was fast and incredibly cheap. No problem wheeling a suitcase a couple of blocks to the bus stop and getting onto the low-floor bus.

The immediate neighbourhood is serene and we felt very safe. It is only a 1000 metre walk to the corner of Abbot Kinney and Venice Blvd, at which point the heart of Abbot Kinney is in front of you. We visited Salt & Straw and Blue Star Donuts a lot! Although we couldn't get into Gjelina's, both Gjusta's and The Tasting Kitchen were good brunch substitutes.
