M's place is great if all you are looking for a place to sleep in Venice Beach area. It is conveniently located near Venice beach, restaurants etc. Street parking was easy to get. It is a small well equipped cottage. The loft is cute, the bed comfortable, but loft also has low ceilings. The bathroom is tiny. If somebody in your party is using the downstairs sofa-bed, then there is no spot to "hang-out" except outside. There is seating outside but there are two other cottages sharing this typical small lot. As long as you are aware and tune your expectations accordingly, you will be comfortable.
