Enjoyed urban, Cali, IKEA comfort...Calvin is a great host. He made things very easy for me. I used the fridge for my lunches as I was on business. Otherwise I kept to my upstairs room which was large with it's own bathroom; claw foot tub with shower, (the bathroom is waiting for a little plaster finish but is very functional) a desk, tv and window. The big bed and mattress was ultra comfortable and the room quiet; I slept great!He suggested Social Bicycles (bike share). The closest was a rack 1 block up on 14th. Very easy to set up an app and account. I enjoyed the location as I wanted to walk or ride for exercise and his location was straight down to 2 nd St. (20 minutes). I ate at various places along the way home in the evening, esp. Santa Monica Fish Market and Sushi King! If you using the train from Union Station, a real must, take the R10 Big Blue bus, a 2 block walk to Santa Monica Blvd & 14th; runs every 20 mins. It takes you directly to Union Station, 1 hour and the last stop.
