Great location and if you are two couples looking for a crash pad next to Venice Beach or Abbot Kinney for a couple of nights then this works. Beyond that, further consideration required.
Location couldn't be better but the property is tired and has seen better days. It needs re-decoration and more than the change over cursory clean. The living area is small for more than a couple of people and the balcony overlooks the bins down the side alley. Be prepared for a little noise, which is to be expected considering the area, but the rubbish trucks and nocturnal neighbours add to it.
The garage is a great to have and certainly made life easier.
Overall will suit some more than others.
