Karin and Sean's guesthouse was the perfect place for my stay in LA. It's a lovely and peaceful environment to step into. It felt more than a home away from home: I felt pampered. Attractive, comfortable furnishings (more than matching the photos), all kitchen and bathroom conveniences (including the divine Kerig coffee maker), large TV, wifi for your device, a view out onto a large, private back garden replete with fruit trees and cheeky squirrels, what more can I say? On a pretty, tree-lined street in the heart of Sherman Oaks, the guesthouse is in a great central location with access to two major freeways just a few minutes away. Two blocks over is lively Ventura Boulevard bustling with restaurants, cafes, banks, boutiques, spas, etc. In fact, you could actually manage without a car if you just wanted to relax, stay put, and enjoy the neighborhood. Communicating with Karin couldn't have been better. She was always very quick to respond and in a warm and helpful manner. When I injured my foot (not at the guesthouse) at the end of my stay, she was immediately there for me with a plan of action that got me to a good hospital nearby and made it possible for me to fly out as scheduled. In the guesthouse, she has provided useful tips about nearby favorite restaurants and directions for a hike up in beautiful Coldwater Canyon, a short drive away. I loved my stay at the guesthouse and would love to return to it. I can't recommend it highly enough.
