Alex & Carmen are the sweet uncle & aunt you didn’t know you had. The house is cozy and clean, the hot water is hot, and, most critical to Angelinos or aspirational Angelinos, there is parking. But what really sets this location above from an average get-in, check out place are the hosts. They left me space when I was trying to get something done, but were very inviting and interesting during breakfast coffee conversation. They know the area very well, and are keen to make the perfect suggestion if you’re looking for something. Overall this is a great place to stay for a focused business traveler, but Alex & Carmen’s wonderful hospitality are why I kept the handwritten welcome card (it was a very nice touch!).
