We definitely enjoyed our stay! It really felt like visiting family that you actually like. Our daughter was obsessed with Sasha. She would want to leave vacation activities early to “go home to Sasha’s house.” We got to see caterpillars turn into butterflies in the backyard and feed birds. The neighborhood is spectacular. You almost feel like you’re in a movie because of all the bursting, vibrant gardens along the sidewalks and the unreal, gorgeous trees. It’s an easy walk to a bus station that’s within a block— we got a deal on a free bus pass for 30 days for just downloading the transit app! The bus takes you everywhere.. to the best food (try the Italian Market), LAX, Park with a playground, Pier/Beach, the outdoor mall/Promenade. We would stay here again and we would go again just for the occasion of hanging out with the Hammer Fam. The room was a good size for us- we’re a family of 3 and packed light: 3 backpacks, 1 carryon, 1 popup tent that folds down easy, and a small umbrella stroller.
