We enjoyed the neighborhood and its proximity to Venice Beach (about 15 minute walk). Our hosts, Zack and Adam, are super-nice and very friendly and strive to make guests feel at home, however, their laid-back attitude contributed to some disappointment.

Although the room was comfortable for sleeping, they should store their personal items and clutter elsewhere. Also, their kitchen was not tidy and their one, shared-bathroom could use a good cleanup (e.g. ring around the bath tub). They advertised secured parking but we were told to park in the street. All of that was tolerable but we were very disappointed that the bikes mentioned in their listing were not usable. They had numerous bikes in their community courtyard but they either had flat tires, missing seats, or locks that could not be opened. If the bikes were usable, the listing is a good-value and we would consider staying again. Without use of the bikes, we would stay at other listings in the area with more amenities for the money or a lower price.
