Great location. About three fourths of a mile from the beach. I love how this place was kind of in the middle of Venice Beach and Santa Monica. It was cool to get a little taste of both areas as they are completely different of one another. rob, the host was very welcoming and helpful in finding things to do in the area. Any time I had a question or an issue, he replied fairly quickly. The place itself is a bit obscure as it backs up to an alley and is in the back of the main house itself. The house has a living unit in the front, the middle, And the back, which is where this unit is. The bedding situation is a little odd as it's basically just a mattress thrown on top of a futon of some sort, but it worked for us as it was just a buddy and myself. Any more than a couple would be a bit challenging. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a cool Venice experience. You may want to bring a pillow and a blanket or two to be a bit more comfortable though. The TV did not really have any cable and it was a bit difficult to figure out, but then again, when you're visiting this area, why in the heck would you want to waste any time watching TV!? One really awesome thing was that he had two bikes available to use, Even though one was pink, which I made my buddy ride. Ha ha ha. it cost about $25-$30 to rent a bike for the day, so if you add that up over a couple days, this is a really great perk. My buddy and I had a great time taking the bikes down to Venice Beach and then all the way up to Santa Monica and back. Thanks Rob for all your help and hospitality.
