Swaga's place is just as beautiful as the pictures show. It was sparkling clean and smelled great. We were late to our check in and Swaga was kind enough to leave us detailed instructions on how to enter and other useful tips. He also left us another point of contact as a back up if we were unable to reach him. The location was about 15/20 minutes from everything we wanted to do (without traffic). The neighborhood was quiet and a nice refuge from all of the excitement and activities from All Star Weekend. I liked being able to participate in all the fun, but then being able to stay somewhere that was safe and quiet at the end of an eventful day. There is a CVS in walking distance which was useful for us to grab some small things like water, snacks, and any toiletries we didn't bring. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely return the next time we visit LA.
