The location was perfect! It's within easy walking distance to the beach and the boardwalk. You can also easily walk to restaurants in Venice and Santa Monica or grab a scooter within a block or so to ride to restaurants and even the 3rd Street Promenade. It was great to have a place to park a car and it was easy to get in and out. Access to the boogie boards to use in the ocean was a nice touch! I stayed there for a week with my 3 teenagers and we had a great time!
