Richard is a great host. All communication I had with him before our stay was very prompt, usually within an hour. His place is just as the pictures show and was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was very hot when we were there and I was a little worried that the air conditioner may not keep up as the rental is above the garage, but that wasn't a problem at all. We were very comfortable throughout our stay. It's also very convenient for getting to Santa Monica and Hollywood. We would definitely book here again if we come back to California.
