I’ve been traveling for years and this is easily one of the best (if not the best) place I’ve stayed! Richard is an excellent host - very welcoming and always thinking of his guest! The place is in a great location, central/accessible to Santa Monica and many other parts of LA. Richard has a great backyard complete with a fire pit, pool and hot tub that he offers for his guests! I highly recommend staying!! As an added bonus Richard has 3 very cute dogs that are very welcoming as well!!
