This place was a PERFECT location for our quick getaway to Venice Beach. We were within walking distance and halfway between Abbott Kinney (great street with local shops, boutiques, restaurants, etc.) as well as the boardwalk area of Venice Beach. We visited some of the recommendations provided and had great experiences! There were ample beach towels (useful for our bike ride along the beach and impromptu swim in the Pacific) and overall it was very clean and decorated nicely. The back of the building is on a main street, so there is some noise. I also wish there was a bit more seating in the main living area. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place to a friend! Thanks, Donna!
