Elaine’s place exudes Old World Charm. It is conveniently close to LAX as well as tons of local restaurants and shops down Sepulveda Blvd. Also close by is Dockweiler Beach. And if you venture down south of Dockweiler is The Strand in Hermosa Beach. This cozy place is full of character and is tastefully decorated. For travelers who plan to be in the LA area for a couple of nights, it is stocked with all the basic essentials you need including having a fully functional kitchen with a gas burner stove. The ceilings are low, but I didn’t mind it since I’m vertically challenged as it is. For the experience, comfort, and privacy, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.
