Alix was a terrific hostess, and was very responsive and accommodating to our requests, including a later checkout. The unit was clean, comfortable, private, and a mere 3 blocks from Venice Beach!! They also let us borrow their beach cruisers, since driving anywhere in that neighborhood is not recommended. The location is walking distance to the hoppin' Abbott Kinney as well, and we were able to catch the 2014 AK Festival on our way out!
