Yumi and Bill were very warm and welcoming hosts. Their home is lovely, clean, and a short walk or drive to the beach. The neighborhood was pretty low key and quiet - exactly what I was looking for on this trip. There was another couple staying in the room down the hall, but i never saw them, which was fine with me. If you have extra time, Bill and Yumi had suggestions for local eateries, and offered coffee and fruit in the morning. I was running around visiting friends in the greater LA area and didn't take them up on it, but I really appreciated the hospitality. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a cozy, quiet homebase.
