That was a pleasure to stay at Richard's guest house. The apartment is exactly as described and is simply awesome. Needless to say, so much love was put into every small details so the guests feel cozy and relaxed. The house is very clean. The communication with Richard is unbelievably smooth. I've got very fast response for any questions (e.g. we were going thru traffic and couldn't get in touch over the internet to notify on our arrival, but settled everything instantly by sms). We would like to stay there again when we visit LA area. The location is really great for any kind of time spend. Just imagine - 15 mins to LAX airport. 15 mins to Santa Monica or Venice with lots of bars and shopping area. A few grocery supermarkets nearby (Vons, 99c etc.) have everything you need for every budget. Plenty place for parking! With a car it's easy to access to Hollywood, Malibu, Downtown taking a detour of traffic via freeways - so the location really have sense!
