Xavier was a great host, he's very friendly and welcoming, which puts you at ease right away. His condo is well located just off Santa Monica Blvd, close to shops and restaurants and it's easy to catch the Metrobus to the Santa Monica beach close by. If you don't have a car it's easy and inexpensive to get an Uber to get around LA from there. I really enjoyed meeting Xavier, but he has such a busy life that he's rarely at home, so I had the place to myself most of the time. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
