If you want to stay in a super cool area but still have some relaxation, peace and quiet then Carol's place is perfect! It has a cool beachy vibe, is a really short walk to Abbot Kinney or the Blvd but also the most peaceful back deck to just relax by the canals. We even took the canoe out, lots of fun and a cool way to check out the neighbourhood. We really didn't want to leave! Highly recommended!
