I love the place. The room can easily rival the best of boutique hotel rooms. The host has eyes for finer details and obviously has plenty of talent in interior design.
Unfortunately I was out most of the time and only briefly meet Sharlene on my last night. Although I did have a good chat with Gio.
The location is fine for me as I have a rental car. Beware of going towards the west in the morning because the jam on 10 West freeway can be pretty brutal. Leave early if you are going to the airport in the morning.
Next time I will probably rent a car in San Francisco and drive down from there to LA. Pacific Highway is beautiful if you are driving down south because the view will be on your right hand side and you can stop anytime you want.
