We had a very pleasant two night stay at Ric and Marc’s place. It’s situated in a lovely, safe and quiet neighborhood yet close to Wilshire Blvd and convenient to Santa Monica, UCLA and the 405. The studio apartment is like a garden cottage loft in a separate building from the main house. I think it was built in the 1940s, so it has eclectic charm. The beds are very comfortable and the A/C and ceiling fan were appreciated on the warm nights. Ric was an excellent and proactive communicator and he and Marc and their yellow lab, Izzy, were really friendly and accommodating. It felt like we were staying with friends.
