Me and my girlfriend were staying at Todd's place for three nights. This was planned to be the beach stop during our road trip through the south-west of the US. In fact it was even more than that. From the first minute on we felt very comfortable with Todd and his huge house. On three levels we found everything that is needed and even more. A huge and brand new kitchen, several terasses, a grill, a pinball machine and a lot more that may be used.
The guest room includes a Kingsize bed, a private bathroom with a huge shower, a private small garden and a separate room to put in clothes and luggage.
The location is brilliant. It is only a 3 minute walk to the beach which is not very crowded and more or less only visited by LA habitants. And it is really a quite oasis in this huge traffic jam city LA. Once you have arrived you are not Hit by any stress or noise any longer. Only by the ocean that can be observed from the roof top terrace.
To visit Hollywood it will take you about 45 minutes by car to get to the walk of fame. To get to Long Beach also takes you about 40 minutes, which is both more than acceptable for LA :-)
To be honest, it was definitely the best stay during our trip through the States. And as Todd suggested at the end of our visit we will definitely stay here if we visit LA again.
Best regards,
Mathias and Natalie
