This place is great for exploring Venice Beach and the areas around it. We hung out in Venice Beach (the apartment is a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and Abbott Kinney) and we even walked to the Santa Monica pier. It’s also a good location to stay if you want to take a day trip to Malibu. The apartment is adorable and comfortable, and Amy & S give great suggestions about restaurants and what to do during the day. They will also accommodate your needs, for example we weren’t able to check in until 3:00 so they let us keep our luggage at their place. Highly recommend!!
