Location is great; just a short walk to the beach. It is a safe distance from all the craziness of the Venice Beach boardwalk. We wanted a place near the beach but easily accessible to LA, and this definitely fit the bill. The studio itself was very comfortable and unique in style. The loft is super cool and comfortable, but does require a climb. The sleeper couch is comfortable; not like the usual pull out couch. The kitchen had everything you needed to make breakfast. Fully stocked, well above average. After our long trip down the coast, we appreciated the ability to use the clothes washer and dryer.
