Our family of six loved this place. We spent six nights here in July 2018. We were a little nervous about how noisy this location would be at peak tourist season, but this was a total non-issue. This is a few blocks from the busiest sections of Venice Beach, but only steps away from the sand. Within two minutes of leaving the front door, your toes are in the sand. We parasailed in Marina Del Rey, shopped on Abbott Kinney, played on Santa Monica Pier, and hiked in Malibu. Lauren, the host, made it all very easy. Highly recommend.
