Where do I begin? My stay at Rick's was absolutely excellent. Rick is super friendly and a great company. Genuinely good people. Rick and his family went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed/at home. And it did feel like home. Next time I'm in LA, I will definitely be coming back! And I recommend that you stay at Rick's too!
The house is located in a residential, hard working families' neighborhood, and Rick's is the nicest looking house around. If you prefer walking and/or using public transport like me, bus stops are a few feet away, and it's close to Downtown. After returning from long days of exploring LA by foot, I liked to sit on the swing bench and play with their cats and/or dogs (their pets are very friendly). Sometimes a neighbor's chickens would also wander into his front yard - home sweet home! The bed is comfortable, pillows are soft, cold drinks are in the fridge, there's tv if you need, and everything is super clean and nice. Btw, WiFi is impressively fast. Thank you very much Rick, I loved my time in LA and in your family's home!
