Buz's place is fantastic. It was surprisingly large once inside, particularly the downstairs master bed and bath. It's literally half a block from the boardwalk, which is made even more accessible by the bikes provided by Buz. The area is great, with shops, restaurants and bars all within walking distance. It takes a little while to get to the Downtown/Staples area but the Venice/ Santa Monica area is, in my opinion a way better place to spend your time anyways.
