It's a studio guesthouse with a wonderful backyard to enjoy. You're quite close to Marina Del Rey, quite a few restaurants, and a 10 minute drive to Venice Beach. I visited during a cold spell, so it wasn't quite pool weather, but the backyard would have been a huge benefit to enjoy if the weather was warmer. Rose was friendly, though I never did meet her! She was accommodating with my early check-in. Will be back once the weather is hot!
