I had a great time in LA!!! Eric's place was nice and clean, and very peaceful. I never had the chance to actually meet Eric, but he was always very quick to respond to texts. The place was perfect for one person and easy access to anywhere you want to go - many places to eat nearby, and very easy to get to the beach. I didn't use the major highways at all.... just the neighborhood streets and got around town just fine. One morning I just laid around and read a book while enjoying the peacefulness of the community and the nice cool breeze through the windows. This is not a fancy hotel, so if you are looking for that, then Eric's place is not for you. However, its clean and quiet and convenient. Eric even had cold water waiting for me in the fridge. Give this place a try.... you'll be very happy with it.
