We very much enjoyed our stay at Gwen’s cozy and comfortable rental unit. Gwen welcomed us when we arrived and showed us around. It is a safe and quiet location. And it really helps to have a dedicated parking place in the driveway.
Laurel Canyon is an incredible area. We could not believe it is in the middle of LA! The roads are narrow and quite steep, in some places only 1-car wide, but the drivers are polite and careful. My husband, who grew up in a small mountain town, had a blast driving there. There is little traffic on the road where the unit is, which made it easy to get maneuvered and parked on the driveway when returning late at night.
Even though it is a converted garage, you don’t feel like you are staying in a garage. The little kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, and the bed was comfortable. As we returned each day from our LA sight-seeing it felt so good to get away from the bustling city life to a nice, quiet neighborhood. Yet it was not that far away from anything we wanted to see or do in the LA area.
Laurel Canyon has so much interesting history. Our first morning we went to the local Canyon Store. We asked questions at the cashier and we had a few locals also happy to give us advice. We dined one evening at the first rate Pace Restaurant (under the store) and it was very nice. Thanks for the recommendation Gwen!
