Bob's place is in a quiet street, very easy to find in a taxi or rideshare. There are also plenty of rental scooters around!
The space is clean, light and stylish. My only (very minor complaint) would be that the hot water in the shower takes a long time to come through due to the style of water heater, and when it does come through it never really gets "hot", more warm.
We walked down to Venice beach without difficulty, it was probably half an hour, and really enjoyed spending a day down there watching all the interesting people and admiring the view. Santa Monica pier was less than 10minutes drive.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay!
