Doug's place was very centralized for all we wanted to see and do in LA for first time. Only put 150 miles on our rental car in the entire 2 days we were there. Seen Vince beach, Santa Monica pier/ beach, Malibu , Downtown Hollywwood, Chinese theater, walk of stars, Mel's dinner, Griffith observatory, Hollywood sign. And even had several hours left to relax pool side at Doug's our last day. The pool and yard was very relaxing you can't see the work Doug has obviously put into this area from the photos, it was our Zen so beautiful and private relaxing for several hours at the house was a highlight of our stay. We even picked up dinner and brought back ate outside the room. Shower was amazing, great shower pressure and the massage abilities great relaxation to the end of our touring days. Close drive to the airport we were there in minutes but no planes to be heard at Doug's. We did not get to meet Doug not nor did we see him . Complete privacy we had during our 2 night stay. Wold stay again if in LA or needed an over night stay for flights.
