Our stay at Lauren Mall's Newly remodeled 2/2 was fantastic. We truly enjoyed our stay. When they say "steps to beach", it was. The place was just remodeled and roomy. My wife and I had a king size bed, and my daughter and her husband had 2 single beds in their room that they pushed together. The courtyard was nice and people walking down the walk way would stop and chat. Lauren was able to get us bikes to rent which was appreciated, and we were able to ride them up to Santa Monica. The location was easy walking distance to local restaurants and the Venice boardwalk. We definitely would go back.
