Kevin's place may not be in a centralized location and the nearby Ralph's is deficient, but if you need to be in the San Fernando Valley or close to the Hollywood Bowl or the LA Zoo, then this is the place for you! I is very close to the freeway and a busy Starbucks. Hands down, this guesthouse is the best for your money! What a gem and a true value! So happy I had discovered it.
First, the attention to details is impressive. When we arrived, it was dark, so I was a bit worried about getting in. However, I followed Kevin's instruction and got in just fine. Once inside the gate, motion-sensor lights came on and lit our path to the guesthouse in the back. A "welcome" sign hung against a wooden divider, and two metal lanterns emitted a beautiful pattern of flowers and swirls of dots on the ground. The lock was easy to use, and the numbers on the pad lit up the moment I touched it. Upon entering the house, I noticed that Kevin or his wife had left the ceiling fan on for us to cool down the place.
That was just the beginning! And whatever happens at the beginning sets the tone and colors the whole experience from there onward. So you can imagine the rest: nice bed, down comforter and pillows, tasteful furniture, beautiful kitchen with artisan light bulbs above the sink, recycling and trash bins with lids in a drawer, two fig cereal bars in the basket, another welcome sign on the counter, fresh carnations on the table with two more green plants situated by the bed and below the TV, nice bathroom fixtures, black towels for make-up removal, bathroom drawers with clear compartments with Q-tips and other necessities, and AWESOME water pressure from the shower head. The insulation is incredible. Even when I left for two hours or more with the AC off, the house still felt cool upon my return. Everything was well thought-out and designed. Once you are there, you can see that a lot of consideration and work was placed into this guesthouse.
