Excellent location! It is very close to Santa Monica Blvd, which means it's easy to navigate around the area, but you will hear road noise. There are two bus stops on the corner, which was a great help to me. The space was very clean but a little sparse in terms of furnishings--the pictures are very indicative of what you will find. I appreciated the prints on the walls. The parking space is as small as other people have said. It was fine for my friend's smart fortwo (a two-seater subcompact), but anything too much bigger than that will have a hard time. My friend reports that the futon is a bit tough to sleep on, so this place may be best for either a single traveler, or two people who plan to or are willing to share the bed in the bedroom. It is absolutely possible to do a fair bit of cooking in the kitchen, but there are also a few restaurants just steps away on Santa Monica. If my adventures ever take me back to West LA, I would seriously consider this place again.
