I wish there were more stars I could give to Jessica, Working with her has been an absolute pleasure, I have never worked with someone that brought smiles and laughs to every guest that came and went above and beyond to make sure the guests were happy and the property was running smoothly. I recomend Jess to anyone, she is confident and managed the property with Skill and ease. I cannot wait to get her back in the space! Thankyou!!!

The location is absolutely amazing, right on the beach, you can't beat that! I made so many amazing connections with people. This is an absolutely incredible experience if you love hospitality and want to experience living on the beach in LA! Thank you David for everything. ❤️
