We had a great stay at Peter’s house in L.A. The house was spacious, clean and well appointed and Peter is a very interesting guy as well as being a very helpful host. The area the house is in is quiet and good quality residential and close enough to reach a good selection of shops and restaurants on Ventura Blvd about 10/15 min walk away. The house is also very well located for Universal Studios and for Mulholland Drive/ Beverly Hills. We have a small family and headed out to Malibu beach (twice!) during our visit as we preferred it to the busier LA beaches like Santa Monica. Also if you have children don’t miss the La Brea Tar Pits-fascinating!
