Bob's apartment was a very nice place to rest after a long drive from San Diego. I picked up my friend at LAX and Venice Beach was a good place to rest our heads before heading South. The room was more than clean and has a nice comfortable atmosphere. Though it would be nice to be closer to the boardwalk, being in the residential neighborhood gained us free street parking which is not available when you get closer to the ocean. Though the apartment is attached to the main home we never felt like we were. With the private entrance we felt comfortable to stay out late and come back in security knowing we weren't going to bother anyone. I'll look Bob up next time I'm in the Santa Monica area for sure.
