Donnas place is right next to Venice beach. But also to a noisy street also at night. The check in is really easy with the code and the lockbox at the door. It is a bit cold in the apartment, especially in the dormitory, because the heater is just in the living room. The heater is too loud for the night, so it might get cold in winter at night. All in all is the apartment very pretty, but in our case it was a bit dirty.
