Shelley's guest house is wonderfully enchanted in the garden of her house - you can hear the birds chirping, it's quiet, a little paradise in a good neighborhood of a crazy, wonderful, vibrating city. If there was a category above Superhost: Shelly would have it. We were warmly welcomed and Shelley provided with a lot of recommendations (restaurants, what to see, special events in the city) and enjoyed the conversations with her every single moment. She also prepared a breakfast basket which we enjoyed a lot (delicious muffins, cheese, jelly beans, crackers, juice and much more - plus: there is always freshly grinded coffee for a perfect start of the day but also tea).
The guesthouse is perfectly located to visit the highlights of LA and to have dinner in one of the restaurants around the corner (some are within walking distance and serve delicious food).
Just a perfect stay with a lovely host like a home away from home - we definitely will come back next time when travelling to LA. We highly recommend staying with Shelley!
