Good position for walking access to Santa Monica Pier/shops & restaurants and to access the Venice end of Santa Monica. Had a car but didn't need it from this location. Jeff left us to our own devices, although we did see him, which suited us. Check in instructions were clear and use of parking permit was good although we got caught out with a ticket for parking over a red zone which we didn't know about so this info might have been useful and would have saved us $64
