My 20 year old daughter and I had a great time staying here. We walked everywhere including to Abbot Kinney neighborhood shops, Venice Beach, and even to the Santa Monica pier and shopping nearby there. We also found it very easy to drive from this location to places such as Malibu. knowing there is parking is nice. Really enjoyed the space - very bright and clean and loved the sunsets from the balcony. John was very easy to communicate with as well.
