This place is fantastic. It's one of the best locations around, so much to do and eat in the area. This new scooter craze is a big deal in Venice and my girlfriend and I took full advantage in getting around efficiently with them. Not all parts of LA are safe for scooters. It's a bit of a tight squeeze at times but we loved it. Can get a little noisy with all the crazies around so make sure you're ok with that (both noise and crazies). There's no AC but we found that to be fine with the windows open, there's a constant cool ocean breeze coming in. Overall we had a great start to LA having stayed here while finding an apartment. Oh, and (gluten free, vegan, regular ole) tacos just down the street!
