Location is great, right on the beach, with amazing views! The air is unbelievably fresh and crisp, the smell of the ocean and greenery truly amazing. The room looks freshly remodeled, especially bathroom seems really nice and new. The staff was friendly, very fast and simple check in and check out. Breakfast was simple but tasty, good coffee and fresh fruit provided.

This place has it all when it comes to cleanliness, comfort, location, and friendly hosts. This location is located behind a gated home and has a country feel. We booked through the website, and arrived onsite the day of our reservation. We were greeted by Lydia who gave us a quick tour around the room. The room includes a small fridge, microwave, sink, and useful glass, cups and plates. It also have a k-cup coffee machine and a light assortment of snacks and coffee. The place is immaculately kept and felt brand new. It is open, spacious, and comfortable. The small throw blanket was useful on the cooler nights and robes are provided. We really enjoyed the patio furniture and ate dinner each night at the room (Each room has a private outdoor area). The weather was great and soo too were the sunset views. The home is about 10-15 minutes away from restaurants and shopping but I recommend you bring groceries with you for convenience. It's not that the drive is so long as you don't want to leave, it's that nice! :) The bed is by far the most comfortable I have ever experienced staying somewhere outside my home. The sheets, comforter, pillows, and down blanket gave a cloud type experience. The black out shades were awesome and enabled us to sleep in and maintain privacy. There are four units so it would be great for a couples get away or family vacation. Andrew and Lydia did check on us once during our stay but gave us the space to relax. They were also there for us several times when we had questions. Checkout was a breeze, no real requirements behind leaving the key and gate operator behind. We loved it so much we have already booked for next year.

Everything! Our host, the atmosphere and environment. The stunning garden, the attention to details was magnificent. The place is very peaceful and the birds love it too. Relax in the garden on the patio amongst the flowers, birds, bees and butterflies and look out to the vines and the Mountain View. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

THis place is so unique. The grounds are gorgoeus. The pool is so pretty and clean. The rooms are large, comfortable and beautiful and the beds are lush. There are so many lovely features. You can check in, have a glorious dinner, go for a relaxing swin and then top off your evening at the tavern for a cocktail.

The views are the best you will find. You can lay in bed and hear the tide and see the ocean. The rooms are extremely clean and the property is well maintained and safe. The neighborhood surrounding is comfortable and safe and we walked the neighborhood and beach every day. The location is a short drive to several cities for shopping and dining. If you want to stay close to the hotel, the Fisherman's pier and restaurant are within steps. Great location!

Beautiful property! Location was easy to get around to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Little Osaka, etc. Was probably the cleanest home stay I’ve had and Milo and Beth were great hosts with lots of knowledge of the area.

The house itself is the best reason to stay here- a four bedroom with a full kitchen and a delightful yard around it. It was recently a museum, and is super interesting to explore. Your incredible host will be happy to share its history with you, and do everything she can to make your stay perfect! Her family owns the house. It’s located in a quiet residential neighborhood- a big plus in Lodi!

It feels more like renting a cottage with your friends instead of a hostel, in all the good ways. Comfy beds, all the kitchen equipment you need, and a great location.

The Patrician is a unique place. You need to have a car to get there, but once you are there, you have an incredible view and very quiet and safe surroundings. Most important about The Patrician is TJ, the owner. He runs this place with love and dedication, is always there if you need support, prepares a wonderful breakfast, and is one of the best hosts we have ever experienced!

The hosts were so very lovely. We were impressed by how welcome we felt, even their gorgeous cats said hello and sat with us in the gardens! There was a great selection of shower products to choose from, the hair dryer worked really well. The decor was gorgeous, it was nice and quiet. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend staying here.

A lovely studio nicely decorated and fully equipped. The fridge filled with lots of little intentions. A space to park our car, a washing machine and dryer available.. everything is there! Greeted by our host who kindly came to see us! Great location in a quiet and charming neighborhood not far from all LA activities. It was perfect! I recommend, and ready to stay there again!

Avi the owner has been a great host. Our plane was total 8h hours delay and Avi welcomed us in the middle of the night. Great and safe location, quiet and close from busy Hollywood at the same time. charming little studio with access to the garden. It was unfortunately raining in LA so couldn’t enjoy it as much but we had a great time at the village !
