Barbara’s place was a great stay for my husband and I. It was our first time visiting the area, and the location was easy to get to Venice Beach and Santa Monica. Easy and free parking was a bonus, plus all of the outdoor space which doubled the size of the space for us. The bikes (although a bit older) were a nice touch so we could avoid rentals and cruise the beach bike path. Overall, the price was right and location convenient for our 48 hour visit!
