Best possible way to see LA
My college-age son and I loved our stay here. The location is amazing, the apartment was quiet, clean, and comfortable, and Barbara and Stephen were wonderful. They gave us recommendations for local and current activities that ended up being the highlights of our trip. The tiki pad will forever be my first-choice place to stay in LA!

The Tiki Pad was everything we needed, it was in a quiet neighborhood and centrally located to areas we were visiting. It’s in a beautiful location and Barbara is a wonderful hostess. We will definitely have to check availability when returning to LA

Tiki Pad perfection!!
For my needs, staying close to family, this clean, quiet, safe studio was just a great home base. It is well stocked, but no frills space is close to many local activities. Barbara was timely with her responses and very helpful. I recommend!!

Stay at the Tiki Pad
A great place to stay for 1-2 people. The hosts are gracious and make sure your stay is perfect. I liked having my own little "house", with a private entrance. Neighborhood is quiet. Parking is plentiful. Great amenities (maybe some homemade chocolate cookies if your timing is right) -- yoga mat & umbrella included.
