great location and value! the beach is right there! the apartment is older and a bit small, but it was perfect for us. i stayed there with a friend and we each had our own space, with a sofa bed upstairs and a bed downstairs, and another sofa bed down there too. there are two bathrooms too, so we each had our own. we were within walking distance to the venice beach boardwalk (it's right there!), santa monica and the pier, and all the awesome shops and restaurants on Abbot Kinney. i would definitely recommend staying here. the value you get for the location… we were very glad we booked with Buz!
