When we walked in we were really blown away. The room is very well fitted with all your sleeping/kitchen/bathroom needs for a family of four. The room is very private and located in a very safe neighborhood with grocery shops just around the corner. The freeway is 5 mins away and took us about 30 mins to get to downtown and 50 mins to get to Venice Beach/Santa Monica Pier (LA traffic is a beast of its own). But we knew and had planned this with our car and Tom's place served as a great place to refresh after a full day out of sightseeing. Communication with Tom was excellent when we needed some assistance and we had no issues at all. Thanks for a great stay and thinking so much about the guests!
