I truly enjoyed Tom's bungalow in Venice Beach. My girl and I took advantage of its proximity to the canals and took walks as well as many pictures of the area. Upon Arrival Tom had left a note with maps and coffee and orange juice for our enjoyment. The patio was nice and inviting as well as very private which was a nice addition to the overall feel of the space. The pictures with the books was a bit deceiving because I thought that books would be everywhere but i was pleasantly surprised at the fact that everything was orderly and the books had there own place. The space definitely has the feel of a writer's retreat! Parking was simple and I never saw the neighbors which made the place seem like it was ours. Thanks Tom for the experience and hope to visit there again!
