Eric is a welcoming host. He and his guests always have good conversation and stories to share at the end of each day. The beds were comfortable, and any store is about 15 minutes away. I would have liked to take him up on his offer of a tennis lesson, but he had to work late during my stay. Someone has to work around here :) Maybe next time I visit LA. The location is nearby the ocean, with beautiful views of the shoreline, but is about an hour south of the heart of LA if you are interested in going down to the middle of the city. I did not realize how many parts of LA there are but this was a fine location.
