My husband was in LA for business so I tagged along. Since I would not have a car I wanted to be walking distance from the beach. Omar's little bungalow was great for this. I spent a lot of time at the Pier. One of the nicest features of the bungalow is the kitchen with a cafe style booth. We had a nice dinner there.

Try CJ's on Catalina Avenue for breakfast. What is better than choosing between homemade banana bread, blueberry muffins or coffee cake? Choose the coffee cake. It is fabulous!

This is not the Ritz Carlton, but it is a great place to stay. Omar is warm, helpful, and available. We will stay here again.
