was a great place - had a chill courtyard which was great to hang out in at the end of a day at the beach. its about three blocks easy walk to the sand and waves and close to the action of marina del rey and venice but on a quiet street near the venice canals so quiet at night. would definitely recommend staying here. thomasina was a great, responsive host and the place was nice and clean when we arrived. couldnt have asked for anything else! great value place.
