Frankie's place is great. Its very small - essentially one room with loft - but very cozy and suited me perfectly. If you want to be by the beach, this is a great way to do it. If you want lots of amenities, this is probably not the place for you. Its got the basics - clean bathroom, small little kitchen, cable tv, wifi, and a comfy queen bed up in the loft. But its not the place for someone who wants to spend a lot of time hanging out inside. Its ideal for someone who wants to be near the beach, and in Venice, and close to all on the west side of LA. Free parking right in front sweetens the deal. I never met Frankie in person, but he was super responsive (answered my text about wifi password right away) and pleasant and all in all it was a great experience. I'd stay there again for sure.
