I really enjoyed my brief stay with Gary! It’s in beautiful and whimsical surroundings, and I instantly felt at home.
The space is really big- with a large kitchen. The shower is gorgeous tile and HUGE- could easily fit a wheelchair, or shower bench and another person. The guest house is accessible and level, no stairs, with polished concrete type floor- which means a power chair could access the space. (It has rugs on the floor, but those can be easily moved.) It is also good for pet owners. Speaking of which, Gary has two very sweet and lovable dogs who instantly want to be your friend.
The bed was big, and comfortable, with large, nice ceiling fans that you control on the wall. There is also heating that you control on a wall thermostat, in addition to more fans in the place.
Gary provides fruit from
His garden- and it is delicious!!!! I inhaled the orange straight away.
It was clean enough by my standards(and I can’t take nasty) but it’s not hotel clean, which some guests might find discomfiting. I tactfully let Gary know, because he’s a sweet and amazing host who deserves to know his hired cleaners need to step up or he should find new ones.
I definitely plan to return. I enjoyed my one night stay, and will return with my teen next time we want to be near the LA area. This place is not in LA, btw- it’s about 25 miles from downtown LA, so you definitely need a car if you stay here. I drove here, and parked my car on the driveway. It’s a nice, safe, suburban spot and even with traffic, didn’t take me long to get to the Hollywood area(like less than 45 minutes).
