This was quite a place! The room was really spacious - and spotless - as were the walk in closet and bathroom. And then there's the white flock of homing pigeons, 2 big parrots (they're very quiet), and Shiva, a sweet, kind, brown-eyed shepherd. A lovely place to come back to after taking in so much of LA, its great food and canyon drives to the beach. I didn't take advantage of the huge kitchen and a full refrigerator but Azim, so friendly and full of stories, graciously let me know it was mine to use. I grew up in L.A. so I can say you absolutely couldn't find a better location, from the close, charming walks down to restaurants, cafes and shopping to easy distances to W. Hollywood, downtown, Silver Lake as well as the nearby freeway to head toward the coast. I do want to let people know they will have to climb some stairs as well as a series of steps outside to get to the house. There's a back entrance that's a lot easier though.
My only regret is not meeting Yamu, who was out of town!
