Absolutely incredible house, location and host! My family I stayed here for two months while working the area. It was truly a home away from home. Whether you're in town for business, vacation, or a combination, the location is perfect! House is minutes from beaches/Santa Monica, Downtown, and exclusive shopping and dining in Beverly Hills. Most great dining and shopping venues are even walking distance! In fact, we walked to dinner more often than we drove. New and updated interior with brand new appliances, TVs, and furniture provide all the amenities of a luxury hotel. The place is in immaculate condition! Joel's hospitality and responsiveness is second to none. He was extremely welcoming, and is an exceptional host. In addition to suggesting great recreation and dining options, he ensured the house was cleaned regularly and always went out of his way to meet any need or request with an immediate response. In previous trips to the area, I've stayed at the nearby Beverly Hitlon and Sofitel luxury hotels. Never again would I consider those options if Joel's place was available. It's truly a gem - perfect location, impressive amenities, and a warm feel that makes it seem truly like a home away from home. After traveling much of the year for work, it was truly special to find such a great place, with such a warm and caring host. You can't go wrong with this place. Very highly recommended!
