It is impossible to describe what an excellent experience I had at this perfect bungalow. Martha was wholly attentively, completely accommodating and both welcoming while also respectful of my privacy.

The house is tasteful, well appointed, and the surrounding patio and pool are absolutely magical at night. Larchmont Street is a 3 block walk through one of the nicest neighborhoods in los angeles. A perfect distance to grab coffee at one of 4 awesome coffee shops, or a lox bagel sandwich at one of the 2 great bagel places (always add cucumber). The area is safe and beautiful.

My only concern before arriving (because I'd not toured the space) was that, at 6' 5", I would not be able to stand up in the loft. That was no issue at all. I could stand and walk easily.

A key consideration of choosing Martha's place was that my dog, Tim Finnegan, would not only be welcome, but would also have a space that was fenced in and another dog to play with. Tim got more than he could've dreamed of. Thomas (their pup) was an awesome buddy. And the entire family embraced him immediately. While I was away I'd get pictures of Tim settled into the couch with the whole crew.

I'm forever grateful for the time I spent at the guest house, and very much look forward to returning.
