The location of Tom's place is perfect - you are basically in between Venice and Santa Monica. It is a 10min walk to Main Street and 15mins to the light rail to downtown. Getting from LAX on the bus is a breeze and extremely cost effective. The bus stop is 2mins walk away on Lincoln Blvd. The place is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and the bed is a dream to sleep in. If we go back to LA we would not hesitate to book Tom's place again. One important thing for us coming from NZ was feeling safe and we certainly felt this at Tom's.
