Rob's place was exactly how it appeared in the pictures. It's very small and intimate, and almost makes you feel like you have your own movie theater. I used the fire pit, and streamed some movies with the sliding doors wide open...it was great. He also offered advice on where to go for breakfast and happy hours. The beach was only about a mile away, and we rode his bikes which was fun, and convenient getting back and forth. I recommend staying at Rob's small venice pad!
