This is a great place to stay. It is very close to the beach, restaurants, and stores. The apartment is impeccably clean and has all that you need. It is a short walk to Venice Beach and about two miles to the Santa Monica pier. The apartment is small but very comfortable and just right for two. Barbara is a great host, answering questions about the area and making sure you have everything you need. We highly recommend it for its location, cleanliness, and a great host.
