Our staying at Julian's place was awesome. Place very clean (which I think is the most important thing) It was so nice to find brand new soap and shampoo in the shower :) we had bottles of water, a small fridge to store our drink and food, heat and a fan available. there is no kitchen but plenty of store are all around the block with a delivery service for some. The place is independent and we felt very private. Location and neighborhood was perfect for us, commuting to Santa Monica (10min) every day: very quite and peaceful. Parking not always in front of the house. Julian and family always available and ready to help.
