We enjoyed the cute and unique surroundings. It is a great home base for those who will be gone out and about all day. Didn't really use the outdoor living room, think it would be great for younger outdoorsy folks. Quiet neighborhood close to Venice Beach area. Easy to communicate with hosts. Bathroom is across the courtyard area so you have to walk outside to use it. There are plenty of lights, just in the middle of the night you are walking outside.
