The location; you can take multiple buses to go to Venice beach/ Santa Monica. It is not the countryside but still calm and good. the apartment is a cute and neighbors are pretty nice. Our room is clean and two of us (college girls) fit in well. The host, Rory, is so nice that he gives us suggestions for the restaurants and cafe around the house. Also, he gave us the permission to use his bicycles, which we were using to go to santa monica. He is good at cooking!!!
