Great location, short 5 mins walk to nice sandy beach, close to tourist area, shops and restaurants. About 20 mins walk to Venice fishing pier. About 10 mins bus ride to Santa Monica, bus number 1 runs often and the bus stop is right around the corner of Joachim’s place, 1.25$ each way. So convenient. You basically don’t need a car and no need to worry about parking. Room is nice and clean, ideal for 2 people.
