The beautiful park is part of the Balboa Lake facilities. It features 6.5 acres of streams, koi ponds and relaxing gardens. And it's minutes walking distance from Chez Vive - a must see!

Home to Muscle Beach; street performers that juggle chainsaws; many shops and cafes. And it's a great workout because you can walk or bike or roller blade or roller skate or skateboard from Venice Beach all the way to the Santa Monica Pier!

IMHO best bagels in Los Angeles! The original Western Bagel bakery is located on Sepulveda and Stagg (take-out only) - not too far from Chez Vive. Great for grabbing freshly baked bagels and schmears - bring it back and have breakfast in bed! Or try this location on Ventura Blvd. - it has indoor/outdoor seating. Enjoy!
