Herman's place is the perfect central location within reasonable driving distance to almost everything in Los Angeles and Orange County. Its in a quiet neighborhood with lots of restaurants and shops nearby so its perfect for both short and long stays. We didn't get to interact with Herman very much since we were out most of the time, but he was easy to communicate with, always available for questions, and very flexible with our late arrival. He gave us clear directions to let ourselves in and he even left the lights on for us! The room is part of a 5 bedroom guest house, but it actually feels a lot more private. The rooms for AirBnB are on the opposite side of the house from the one other resident in the house, whom we never saw during our 3 night stay. Our private room had its own entrance to a bathroom that is shared only if you also rent one of the other rooms. It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a good night's sleep. The house is at the end of a long driveway so its easy to drive right past it, but you will recognize the front of the house from the pictures if you look carefully. If you're looking for a nice, affordable place to stay in the LA/Orange County area, this is it!
