David's place was wonderful. The house is private as advertised, and check-in is hassle-free. The room is cozy and well-decorated. There is also this WONDERFUL digital fireplace that I found fascinating (oh, and warm as well). David clearly put a lot of thought into the Purple House. I enjoyed the LA Times front pages he left on the coffee table. Only thing I would say on the negative side is that the shower is pretty cramped for someone of my height (6 feet tall) and a little bit dirty. If you're shorter than me and you bring flip-flops, I imagine you'll love David's place.
