Handy to the Lincoln and Main Street stops for the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus. Can get to and from LAX on the #3- super easy. Rose Ave has lots of great restaurants, easy walking to the beach and Abbot Kinney- great location! Fun loft upstairs - would be great for little kids. We liked the table outside in the garden for hanging out after our very busy days in Venice, Santa Monica and downtown LA. The Big Blue Bus also goes to the Expo train Line- goes directly to downtown- so we got to visit the Arts District, Grand Central Market, MOCA...Yep, we did a completely car-less trip to LA!
