All this is near downtown and everything fun?
Looking at them airbnb monthly prices
naw not near downtown, but you can take the 10 and get there. I always stay right on the beach, and shoot around town from there. Santa monica beach is right by venice, you can go the 10 to labrea and head north to hollywood/sunset. When you there you have to go to the roscoes on pico and labrea just for being black (if you are).
edit: oh and hit third street if you stay where I suggested. Also travel around and hit the grove as well
