We made Spencer's space our home for 4 days whilst travelling round California from the UK. It did feel like a home from home and had everything we needed. We underestimated how long the walk to the beach was, but thankfully we enjoy walking and there are great streets to walk along full of shops and restaurants on the way to the fantastic Venice Beach. Would recommend to anyone who wants to be in the area where everything is convenient and accessible, but not right in your face.
