Bob is a great host, so easy to communicate with and very accommodating. He has great ideas on what beach to go to where there is parking and restaurants - it's away from Venice Beach which can be crazy. Walking around the neighborhood was such a treat - beautiful flowers everywhere. The place is clean and has everything you need (unless you need a complete kitchen) - there is a small fridge, a microwave, coffeemaker and a sink. You have a small private courtyard with a door that locks. I was there for work so I enjoyed sitting outside with my computer. I highly recommend Bob's place.
