Staying at Tom's was great, we were within easy distance to most of the west side of LA, no more than 20-30 mins drive from the beach. Tom was a great host and was very easy to contact, he was courteous and quick to make sure our stay was great, for example, the hair dryer was missing and Tom delivered it to the place on the same day. The place has no AC, but there are fans inside the house to keep cool. Cool decoration and house plants make Tom's place interesting and an unique part of our LA adventures. I would recommend Tom's for weekend travelers in LA.
