This is a great location, near Venice Beach and the great shops and restaurants on Abbot Kinney road. Most of the Venice Beach area is shabby chic and this apartment is no exception: the place is older with some cracks and older carpets etc. However, it is well set up with two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom + shower, and a reasonable common area on the main floor. Bed was comfortable and I slept well. This is close to Venice Beach but not too close--it was pretty quiet at night. Johnathon was fast to respond if I had questions or any minor issues. Very convenient to walk anywhere in the area.
