Staying at Teresa's place was good for a place to rest your head. It was uncomfortably hot as there was a unit blowing out heat so for the beginning of June plus only one fan, it was pretty hot to try and get a good night's rest. We didn't spend much time there besides just to go to sleep. However, Teresa was super welcoming when we arrived and told us where certain things were which was definitely appreciated. The location is great to get to Venice/Santa Monica if you rent a car. Parking was only an "issue" one night where we had to park a few blocks away but that's because we were getting spoiled with the ability to park right in front of the building since there was almost always an open spot (lol).
