We had a great stay at Charles place. It was no frills but very clean and we had everything we needed including a fully equipped kitchen (which we didn’t use), spare towels and blankets and a great powerful shower.
We didn’t meet Charles but the check in and out was easy and we used the back gate to come and go so it felt super private.
Parking was super easy and we were walking distance from great eateries on Abbot Kinney, Venice beach and of course the beautiful canals.
We would definitely recommend.
