This place has it's pros and cons, I would not stay here if I was here on a business trip long term, but definitely would stay here if you are vacationing. The reason why I say that is because after a long days work, they don't have a couch to sit and decompress and the wicker chairs are more for show. This place also does not have AC, so I would not stay here in the summer. Since I went in September - October; the evening had a breeze plus they have fans so I was fine. With that said, this was in a great location, walking distance to Venice Beach, Whole Foods, Abbot Kinney, Rose Ave, and near a bus stop; there is also ample street parking. Melissa was very responsive and they accommodated me (I have had to extend my stay at least 2 times after booking). The place looks EXACTLY like the picture, so I am not sure why I thought there would be a couch. They have all the utensils you need to eat take out and cook (I did not cook). The courtyard is beautiful, but the shurbs are kind of in the way. The towels pilled so I had to get new towels. Other than those minor things this was a great place.
