Excellent location in Venice and close to Santa Monica. A 15-20 minute walk to the beach. A very short walk to a plaza with the necessities, including a grocery store, pharmacy and discount store. A small living space (which we were aware of beforehand), which was fine for us as we didn't spend much time at the place except to sleep. Rob let us be and gave us our complete privacy, but was readily available when we did contact him with a question. We were all happy with our stay (3 people).
