The location is a 10 to 15 mins drive from LAX and it's a great place to stay if you want to be near the beach or coast. There are restaurants and bars within walking distance and the place is stocked with the necessary amenities. We didn't make full use of the garden as the weather was too cold, but it is an absolutely nice place to chill if it was warmer. Frank is a responsible and responsive host and I'll gladly stay at his Garden Oasis again when I visit LA again.
