Buddy's place was super cool! As was on the last leg of my trip surfing all over Southern California. I did an 8 day surf trip and started in Malibu to San Diego and then OC, Huntington Beach and finished it at Venice. Buddy's place was close to Venice Beach and about a 20 minute walk. The cabana was ultra cool because it had immediate access to the pool. Once I got done surfing at Venice I chilled out in the pool and just relaxed. I love how Buddy's place has a theme in every one of the rooms. Great outdoor space to light up a fire, the common areas were spacious and there were 2 full bathrooms within the common areas. I also like how Buddy's place had 5 other rooms being rented and you could meet other travelers. Buddy was an excellent host, he was informative about the area and gave you tips on where to eat in the area. Overall, it was the best stay I had during my 8 day tour. Thank you again Buddy!
