What a fun home base for our trip to Los Angeles to escape the winter gloom. It's right on the beach, so you can wake up, play some pinball, walk outside, cross the walking path, and put your toes in the sand. Great local spots are all within walking distance, and there's wonderful people-watching (if you get a chance to see all the roller-skaters near the skate park on a Saturday, it's amazing). Michael is a thoughtful host with great recommendations for things to do and dinner spots to check out. Thanks for our sunny escape.
