Sam's place was absolutely wonderful. His housekeeper is the nicest lady in the world, the home is beautiful, modern, and cozy all at once. The house cat (who admittedly looks like the 3D version of Garfield) was the sweetest most cuddly creature. I was able to do a comfortable morning run from Sam's place to Balboa park (about 2 miles away). Would've loved to stay here for a week or so -- definitely recommend Sam's place!
