We stayed at Jessica's for 3 nights on our first trip to L.A. The neighbourhood is in perfect walking vicinity to the Venice boardwalk - about 10 minutes and then onto Santa monica Pier. The very cool street of Abbott Kinney Blvd is also very close and a great place to walk and look at the trendy shops and art. Jessica is super friendly as are her adorable pets. Loved staying here and would definitely come back!
