I loved my stay at Jooles's place so much! The house is full of charm and almost anywhere you find yourself inside the house there is always a wonderful view out of the many windows towards the magical garden terrace and the stunning hillside landscape. Every piece of furniture, fixture, and fitting from the kitchen cabinets to the wooden floors, the stunning linen cushions, the Moroccan rug, all the lovely pottery and the various plants have been chosen with such great care and delicacy that to be inside is both to be completely comfortable and totally inspired and at home. I loved sitting in the beautiful window seat and looking out onto the garden and over the hills, drinking my tea in the morning and reading a book. The bedroom is so lovely. At the foot of the bed two french doors open directly onto the terrace, so one can lie in bed with the feeling of being almost surrounded by trees, plants and wonderful light. It was really like a dream! Then there is the terrace and garden itself! It's heaven! The garden is really spacious and I would alternate between the seating area, with cushions on benches where one can eat at the table under the pergola with the jasmine climbing around you, or in one of the relaxing outdoor arm chairs or at night sit around the gas fire pit on the other level. It was so charming and so peaceful. I can honestly say I never wanted to leave! Jooles was so kind and always available to answer any questions. I arrived and the place was so clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable, the pillows were great. The whole experience was really special and I feel very luck to have discovered this inspiring and beautiful retreat surrounded by beautiful trees and vegetation and yet close to all the great cafes, shops, restaurants and bars of Echo Park and Silverlake. Jooles is such a friendly and wonderful host and I will miss her place of which I now have so many wonderful memories.
