M's place is a terrific location if you are visiting Venice Beach, Santa Monica or Marina Del Ray. Her place is lovely, very clean, nicely decorated and exactly as it is described. The bed was very comfortable and there were nice touches left for the visitors. It was perfect for the two of us, as we were looking for somewhere close to Venice Beach, but not right in the craziness and noise that can sometimes happen along the boardwalk. However, it is an easy 2-3 block walk to restaurants, bars, the beach, and grocery shopping, and yet it was very quiet at night. We rented bikes about 2 blocks away, and rode them up to the world-famous Santa Monica Pier, where we enjoyed the afternoon. The Venice canals are beautiful, with many houses in this neighborhood updated to very modern styles. We will be back!
