I stayed at Tony's place for two nights while on business, and had a wonderful experience. It was such a great value considering hotels cost nearly twice the price in the area, and I had access to my own kitchenette and private backyard space (with hammock!). The space was so close to busy Santa Monica Blvd, yet the street was surprisingly quiet and residential. Tony was a great host - he was so friendly, responsive and respectful of privacy. You can tell he really cares about being a good host! I will definitely stay here again if I return to California!
