The owner, Lewis, is charming and extremely friendly. Staying at Lewis's place is like staying at a friend's home. He was accommodating to my arrival time, and then went out of his way to show me around the neighborhood. The room was super comfortable and everything is organized, and ready for you. Check in was super easy and well informed. I wish I would of stayed for longer, but I will definitely come back. I plan to stay with him every time I come to Los Angeles. When you stay here, you will check in as a guest and check out as a friend. :-)
