My wife and I had a great stay but David's place is not for everyone, as he clearly says. It's eclectic, rural, rough around the edges. It's the kind of place old (and young) hippies love. It's nestled in a magnificent canyon but minutes from the ocean and the hustle-bustle of L.A. It's a perfect place to stay while enjoying the Getty museums. If there is a bit of Mario Andretti in you, the winding mountain road to get there is a hoot. Just don't expect it to resemble the Hilton.
