Jamie is a great host! He has many suggestions about where to go and what to do. He's very approachable, friendly and laid back. Super cool dude. The place was nice, clean, and quiet. Ample easy parking right out front, which was a nice change after exploring LA. You can take a nice walk down the bike path to the ocean, but other beaches are fairly close by car also. The whole area was pretty quiet, but there are popular areas close by with restaurants, bars, and theaters. I had a very nice stay!
