If you are looking for a historical, yet up-to-date, taste of Southern California, look no further. This 1928 gem is so comfortable and so wonderfully located to get around the greater LA area and down the road toward San Diego, as well, (Laguna Beach was only about 40 minutes away on a Saturday, for example, and Disneyland about 30 minutes on a weekday, as traffic was going in the other direction, while even up to north LA only took about 40 minutes mid-morning during the week), that you will want to stay forever. It is not luxurious but rather the kind of place where you want to put up your feet on their several recliners and just stay forever. Rani was incredibly responsive to our requests, in a lovely manner, and made our stay even nicer. I can't say enough nice things about the Bixby Knolls/California Heights neighborhood, either. We absolutely loved coming back from days of sightseeing to be by the pool and then walk to dinner (many places in the area), followed by a long stroll through the neighborhood, smelling the aroma of the many flowers and taking in the ambience of the lovely old homes along the pretty, retro, lamp-posted streets as dusk set in. Sigh. Don't judge the listing by its immediate situation on somewhat busy Orange Street (which becomes very much quieter at night) but by the whole area, which is truly a gem and a throwback to old LA and Long Beach, in their heydays. We cannot wait to come back.
