Rob was a very attentive host, checked in a few times to ask whether everything was ok and made a few adjustments to the apartment so that I'd feel comfortable. The place was basic but clean and light as described and relatively cool in one of the hottest, muckiest weeks ever in LA. Not the fanciest parts of Venice but definitely safe but the location of the place is fantastic, right around the corner from Rose ave with all it's cafe's and cycling distance from the beach.
