My wife and I figured we should spend the last two days of our weeklong LA trip by the beach, and this was in the perfect spot. Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Abbot Kinney, Main Street Santa Monica- all were well within walking distance so we were thrilled to avoid having to deal with any more traffic. The place itself was cozy as could be- clean, warmly decorated, and tucked away at the rear of the property so that we had plenty of peace and quiet. It looked and smelled like the perfect "shore house", as we east coasters would describe it. And the bed was ridiculously comfortable.
