Jessica's place is very conveniently located to Venice Beach and all the craziness it has to offer. We strolled down and had a fantastic breakfast with the locals in Cafe Collage. If Venice Beach is a little too much, head to Santa Monica, only 10 minutes by car. It's literally got everything. Marina Del Rey is only 5 minutes by car for more restaurants and great views of the yachts. Jessica's is a small space, but it has a lovely bathroom, and the beds are super comfy. The neighborhood is quiet and the immediate neighbors are very friendly. A big plus is the huge washer and dryer. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook a big meal if you so wanted. The only negative was that maybe we missed it in the description, but the room with 3 beds was only accessible by a drop down loft ladder. This comes down in front of the bathroom door, and kind of blocks it a bit. It would not work for anyone who was not very agile, or was afraid of heights. However, all in all a very good experience.
