My brother and I decided to do a road trip out west for our birthday (we're identical twins) and so Venice Beach was the last leg of our trip, and thus Patrick's place was our last stop. So, I need to say that 1.) Patrick is a really cool guy; 2.) Patrick's house is really nice and is in a cool part of town; and 3.) Patrick went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great, always in communication and checking up on us. I definitely recommend his place and the area. I think it'd be hard to find a value this great.
