Staying at Tom's was the perfect start to our trip through California. He's such a nice guy, honestly caring for his guests. Tom gave us a lot of good advice to enjoy the beautiful city of Los Angeles. And also, sitting together with him on the terrace by the pool, talking about the country's history, and life in CA, gave us a good idea about the so-called "American Way of Life". It was a special pleasure to observe all the kinds of wildlife around Tom's house, especially thinking of humming birds, bluejays, cats and squirrels. No "Waschbär" (racoon) for us, though ;) The location of the house is also amazing, a very charming and relaxing place but still close to all the sites. If you'd choose any other host than Tom while staying in L.A., you'd be making an unforgivable mistake!
