Linda was as lovely as the lovely little place. The name says it all, with a large outdoor screened in patio that connects all of the rooms. This was my favorite feature, but make sure you check the weather and pack accordingly. The porch looks out onto lemon, eucalyptus trees, herbs, and vegetables. Larger trees provide great privacy and a feeling of seclusion deep in the canyon mountains. Even though LAX is a half an hour and Malibu 15 minutes away. The smell of the all the vegetation around the lovely little place was intoxicating. Growing up in AZ, the desert smell brought me back home. Then the unfamiliar SoCal vegetation, made me stop and smell the air every chance I got. Linda went out of her way to make me feel welcome. She also went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, got everything I needed and was very knowledgeable about the area and anything you would want to do in it.
