Very nice, efficient space. Easy leisurely walk to multiple coffee shops. Numerous great restaurants very close as well. Less than 5 minute walk to Venice Beach Boardwalk. Marina del Rey is close. Santa Monica and Malibu are easy treks. Anywhere else is straightforward from the area. (Depending on your ability to adapt to LA driving.)
Checking in is a breeze. TV station selection allows for good down time entertainment, if you need it. Hosts are responsive, but otherwise leave you to yourself. Once again, very laid-back situation.
The Venice strip is full of variety. You want junk or high end, take your choice. More great food and drink.
And if you are gluten free, the options far exceed anywhere I've been and are not hard to find. Check out Saints and Sinners bakery on Lincoln. Very short drive; 1/2-hour walk.
Weather is cooler on the coast and walking is very comfortable. Bring a sweat for the morning and evenings.
