My friend and I stayed at Randy's place for 2 weeks and we had the best time! He is an amazing host and knows a lot about LA. Even before we got there he sent us many emails telling us what we could do, where we could eat etc.
His house is absolutely beautiful and the area is great as well because you get everywhere pretty quickly especially since there's a train nearby in case you don't want to rent a car. Randy definitely made us feel like we're at home and treated us more like friends than "just" guests.
I absolutely recommend staying with him and when we go back to LA we will definitely try to book his place again.
Thanks again for everything Randy!
