This was not only a great location but a beautiful place. I am a mom who was traveling with her 14 yo son to visit LA for a mother/son trip. Parin responded right away with any question I had. Parking was easy on the street and free!! We could walk to canals, about 2 blocks and the beach about 5 blocks. The neighborhood was quiet at night and initially I was concerned about entering into an alley but I felt very safe. The place itself was so beautiful and and has everything we needed! Shower is amazing and the beds were comfortable: Venice beach was a hoot!! Lots of activity during the weekend but pretty quiet during the week. It was truly and idea spot to explore LA area. About 45 min to Studio city and the Hollywood area and 45 minutes to Knotts berry farm/Disney and Anaheim. We would stay again without hesitation!!
