Cris responded to inquiries immediately. He is a great communicator and a very friendly host. He welcomed me to the place after hours of being in traffic and made me feel at home and secure. The room is small but very cozy and comfortable. What is nice is that is has everything that you need to unwind and relax after a long day. The wifi was fast, the bed was cozy (a little noisy for me) and the shower bathroom had great towels! All in all, I plan on staying there again in the future. The location is close to the 405 and Ventura Blvd as well as next to the LA River with a nice area to walk or exercise.
