This place is perfect for very close beach access and to all LA attractions. If you are looking for a 5 star luxury hotel then this is not the place for you. It is an affordable place for families to enjoy it all. We went to Dockweiler Beach and had a bonfire, enjoyed walks on the beach each day, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, LACMA, The Broad Museum, Sunset Strip, Hollywood Blvd, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, and drove up the Coastline. All in 4 days while still saving money with meals having a kitchen. Accommodations could use some updating but having EVERYTHING else you need makes it easy to see past that. The hosts provide snacks, laundry detergent, beach gear, games, and kitchen essentials. We would definitely go back.
