We were in town for a wedding at the Skirball Center and this location proved to be very convenient. We were able top hop on the 405 easily (though it sure is traffic-y!) and could get to both Santa Monica and Venice Beach quickly. Street parking was a breeze. The apartment is very spacious-- but the nook really is a nook! In the hottest days of August, it got a bit steamy, but the host provided two strong (but quiet) fans that did a great job of cooling down us and the apartment.
