Carlos's home is a cozy quiet hideaway in LA. He has obviously put an enormous amount of care and attention into setting up his home, and it shows. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower, the sound system, and the small fountain area just outside the front door - as well as the fact that the house is set way back on the street and is very quiet. It is pretty much just as pictured except that, at least on my visit, the hammock was no longer there - which was a bit of a disappointment but not a big deal by any means. Carlos is very responsive and available and will give you a thorough tour of the house when you arrive. The location makes getting to the East Side of LA a bit of a trek but of course the West Side is quite close and it was only a 20 minute drive from the airport which was great. Street parking was easy and Carlos has visitor parking permits you can use. I had been concerned about heat and no AC but the fans did their job and there was plenty of air circulation adn it was never uncomfortably warm even though temperatures almost reached the 90s during my stay. All in all a lovely find.
