We spent ten days at Chad's place and it was fabulous. All the details were accurate, the backyard and the "secret" fireplace were great places to spend time, have dinner and have great conversations by the campfire. It is also well located: you can drive to top beaches in the LA area in 25 to 30 minutes. There is some noise from the highway but it does not bother. Chad was quick to respond to our requests and respond to our questions. I certainly suggest this place to anyone visiting LA region. Great neighborhood, safe and clean.
