Location is arguably understated, we could actually see the sea from the balcony and is only a few metres from the promenade. This is ideal if you want to spend time on the beach or enjoying the restaurants along Venice Beach. We spent our days in Hollywood which is a 2.7 mile walk or ~15usd Uber ride to the metro at Santa Monica Downtown and about a further 2h to Universal City...
Whilst the pictures are relatively accurate the bathroom plumbing has seen better days and tends to wash the floor as you shower and the bedroom floor/bed creaks rather loudly making any nightly movement audible on the mezzanine where the second bed is located.
The lack of a guide book ( that we found) could have saved us time to locate the trash can / nearest supermarket / find the ball game on the TV.
None of these are deal breakers and arguably reflects the price which was at the lower end for the area.
