The Zen Garden was absolutely perfect. We look forward to staying here again anytime we are in the LA area. The neighborhood was prime location and easy to bike or walk to all areas. We stayed without a car for a whole week and never had transportation issues because of the location! Santa Monica, Manhattan beach, and Venice beach are extremely close. The space was clean and so very private!! We actually found ourselves hanging out at the venue more often than expected because of the great amenities. Highly recommend!!!
