The place is very cozy and clean, slight ant problem but Tom was very accommodating helping keep them at bay. It was unusually hot for LA and there is no AC but there is two ceiling fans (one currently out of order but being repaired) and a plug in fan so it could get a but muggy in the day time. Tom and the neighbors are very courteous and quiet so getting rest was never a problem. The Internet and TV worked well. It's about a 10 minute walk to the buses to Venice beach and 17 minute drive. The neighborhood is quiet and is more residential/industrial, so you have to walk/drive a bit for shops. I would definitely stay there again, great value and first time experience!
