My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days at Rob's place. Great location - 2 blocks to Whole foods (and other grocery stores) and 7 blocks to beach. We used the bikes that came with the place to pedal all over Venice and Santa Monica. There is a 26 mile bike trail along the beach and bike lanes on many roads. We didn't have (or need) a car, but parking was readily available on the street. The house was clean, comfortable, quiet and safe. It has 4 good-sized rooms - kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath, all on ground floor. And it had good wifi and TV. Rob was a great host - he let us check in a little early, and responded quickly to any messages. I would definitely stay here again.
