You can do no better than staying at Tom's place if your family is visiting LA. The location is ideal for visits to Universal studios, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu and downtown. The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood near an abundance of great restaurants. Plus, Tom is a great host who answers all questions without delay. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is fully stocked. My advice: skip the hotel next time you're in LA and stay at Tom's place.
