It's difficult to describe how wonderful staying here was. Karim is a wonderful host and better yet a genuinely kind and thoughtful person.
I stayed here with my wife and my 5 month old. My son cried (teething/traveling etc) several times a day, and Karim never once complained or said anything negative. He even introduced me to a friend who was knowledgeable about home remedies for colic/teething babies!

The space is great itself- for the price around the area bigger than any hotel you will be able to find. The location is wonderful, I used to attend UCLA and know the area well. It's 10 minutes from venice beach, and 15 minutes from santa monica (those are real times not traffice times of course...) 15 minutes to the Getty.

The surrounding neighborhood is extremely safe - all homes and several with children. I would run in the mornings for 3-4 miles around the area and loved it.

Karim has clearly worked hard on the place, and his father used to work at the Bel Air hotel and holds him to VERY high standards (sorry for sharing Karim).
