We spend two nights in Oliver's place and had a nice time here. Oliver was very friendly and had good tips to enjoy beautiful Santa Monica and Venice Beach. The location is good and safe, 10-15 minutes walking to the beach, with many restaurants, bars and shops nearby. The room is small but comfortable. Nice and modern design with lot of useful information about L.A. and the area. The only negative side were the noise and the light from the street because you are on the ground floor without curtains.
