Stephen’s home is an absolutely wonderful place to stay while in LA as it is centrally located and close to many things but also allows the tranquility of being up on the hillside, giving you a respite from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The view from the balcony is unbelievably gorgeous and a perfect place to enjoy meals. The backyard barbecue patio area and pool are also beautiful and spacious providing lots of room for outdoor relaxation and enjoyment. I loved getting to enjoy the beautiful view of the valley while my kids played in the pool. There is also a lovely spot to relax in a hammock under the shade of a giant oak tree. Stephen is very responsive and a wonderful host. My seven-year-old daughter left her glasses and he kindly mailed them to us which was greatly appreciated!
