Perfect place for two! Within minutes you can walk to Venice Beach or to restaurants. The location is also a short walk to Venice Pier and it's many eclectic shops, restaurants. Rent bikes for a beautiful ride up the boardwalk to Santa Monica Pier where you'll find more shops/restaurants. Temescal Gateway Park is 20 min by car and worth the trip to hike the Canyon Trail for views of the city, beach and the natural beauty of the Santa Monica Mountains.
