I cannot say enough good things about Helen's place. Everything was very clean and easy to find. The back patio was very relaxing and almost always had a breeze which made it very comfortable. I love the fact that I could hike to the Hollywood sign from Helen's house, though it is not an easy hike so keep that in mind if that's something you want to do. Helen was very knowledgeable of the trails in the area providing me with a map and offered me trekking poles which I highly recommend using. I hope to have the opportunity to stay at Helen's place again one day!
