Great location. Close to beach/Ocean Ave, pier, short drive to Bev Hills, Sawtelle and other mid city locations. Not too far to Malibu, Venice, etc. Not sure why people were complaining about noise - it’s not noisy unless you normally live in an isolated area and hear nothing ever. Bring your own toiletries - wasn’t much here on that front. Also if you plan to cook, this place probably isn’t for you. Kitchen is fine but not a lot of plates and other stuff in the kitchen. Lots of restaurants nearby and CVS across the street for essentials.
