The Airbnb was in a great location. Literally across the street from a grocery store, Panda Express, best buy etc. Also the location is up the block from many local restaurants and local mexican food trucks which were pretty tasty and stay open late. Venice beach wasn't too far, about 20min away, maybe less depending on traffic. Overall, it was a great stay and we had our own balcony in the back, away from the street area, and as well had access to exit or enter from the front of the apartment as well. I'd definitely stay again! Oh & pretty nice area, most importantly.
