The room was pretty much exactly as advertised, and I found the private entrance really useful. The other amenities provided (mini fridge, drinks, snacks) were a nice touch. I was in town for business and had a few issues connecting to the house internet, but it wasn't a big deal since I wasn't in the room that much. The location is great. Valerie's place is right on the edge of Venice Beach, so there's a lot nearby to explore and the beach isn't far. Wish I'd had more time to enjoy the area!
