This place is amazing. I was blown away from the view from the hilltop and how spotless the place was. It was also in a peaceful area which was very relaxing. As far as traveling, the distance from down LA, the laugh factory, and wax museum was about 20-25 minutes depending on traffic. We also drove to Santa Monica and Venice beach which was about 40-45 minutes. Overall it’s in a great location. outside of that, Loni was an awesome host. She was very timely with communication and checked in with us to be sure everything was going well. I’d definitely recommend this place.
