We got in really late, but it was no big deal getting our self situated. Everything was the way it's advertised. The street that the studio is located is a bit sketchy at night, but it's the best location close to the beach. And the best thing about this location is the parking. We were able to get some laundry done and cook some late night munchies... so we made good use of the studio. Going on our adventures was more exciting and so convenient. There's a bike shop just down the street if you want to explore on bike rides, great food- egg slut is one of my favorite breakfast spots to eat- good breakfast sandwiches. The only thing that we had issues on was getting on the wifi, but it was no big deal... we were out and about most of our stay and needing more of hot water. If I come back to Venice beach, I'd love to stay again!
