The apartment is in a fantastic area, five minutes walk to Venice Beach, few minutes walk to Venice Canals, there’s a vegan grocery store on the block if that’s your thing, 10 minutes walk to restaurants and other grocery stores and 15 minute drive to Santa Monica. Great location for the price. Hosts are very helpful and responsive when there was an issue with the lock box code on check in. The area is safe, the apartments are quiet and smoke free. Parking wasn’t too bad in the area, we managed well with it. Apartment is basic but pretty well equipped. Heaters kept the place nice and warm, the windows open for some ventilation. Sofa bed I would imagine not ideal to use for longer a stays but everything worked for us well while we were there.
