We really enjoyed staying at Darcy's guest house during our stay in Cali. She was so welcoming and always responded to any question we had before and during our trip. She gave us some really good recommendations for places to go and eat ( I wish I had more time to visit that sushi place that she loves, ask her about it!) There is plenty of street parking in this safe neighborhood and it is really close to everything. It was right off the highway but not close enough to hear any traffic. Very close to restaurants and just a few minutes from the beach.
The room is exactly like the photos except where the desk is, there is now a TV and fridge there and the desk is off to the side. The TV connection wasn't working as they were in the middle of changing providers and we didn't get to use the pool/hot tub or sauna but we were out all day so it didn't matter to us. The bathroom is really new and clean and I love that shower. Darcy also provided us with extra towels and I really liked the mini library of books in the room. There was this book of like 100 stores to visit in LA which we did visit some during our stay (50 cent cookies? 2 dollar ice cream cookie sandwich?!?) The room gets plenty of morning sun and the bed is really comfortable, but how can you stay in bed when the beach is calling for you? Her two dogs are so sweet and one would come to visit us in the morning when we had the door open. This is the perfect location to stay at in the LA area and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip back to the west coast.
