Eric is a very gracious host with a beautiful home filled with museum quality art. The neighborhood, which is basically at the top of the peninsula, was quiet and I enjoyed early morning jogs with views of the ocean (including down to Catalina Island) and the city. RPV feels much more spacious than most areas in the LA Basin proper, with lots of open spaces, bike and jogging paths, and amazing views of the ocean and city. It was worth the commute to/from the South Bay, which is the only drawback of staying in RPV. I worked long hours and Eric occasionally picked up extra food for me (fish tacos!) so I wouldn't have to take extra time preparing anything at the end of the day. My en suite room (southeast corner) had a view down to the ocean and catching a breeze from the windows was never a problem (though it was usually quite cool). The entire house was thoroughly cleaned each weekend, with new sheets and towels provided.
