My time at Don's place was perfect! I was in LA for business, so I didn't get the chance to fully enjoy this location's proximity to the beach (literally on block to the sand!), but the experience was still incredible. The place was cozy and comfortable and was close to great restaurants and nightlife, but still quiet enough at night to have the windows open and get good sleep. Don was a great host, too, offering suggestions for restaurants and staying in touch regarding check in and check out. Would absolutely recommend this place!
