Valentin is a wonderful host! We really enjoyed our stay in this home away from home. His family is so lovely and welcoming. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to retreat to at the end of the day. Things I found helpful were guaranteed safe parking, having the car right outside the front door for easy access unloading/reloading, cooking appliances (oven, stove, microwave, fridge/freezer), cooking utensils, and tv. The bed was also very comfortable. The location is perfect: easy access to the freeway, resulting in a short drive away from beautiful beaches (Manhattan/Hermosa), the airport if you are flying in, and downtown Los Angeles/Hollywood. I would definitely stay here again. :)
