the place appears exactly as described - its modern/updated/clean, comes with all the needed amenities/kitchen essentials, is quiet, and comes with a parking lot (compact). However it is small and lacks AC (they offer Fans but airflow is still poor). Also be advised that the closest beach is a dog beach which comes with a certain odor. As described it is walkable with local eateries of very casual vibe. The property is centrally located for easy access to other places to explore and generally speaking close enough to most attractions. All in all, If you like Venice beach than this is your place.
