I stayed for a week at Rick’s place and it was a beautiful, peaceful and affordable space, nestled away in one of my favorite parts of the LA hills. Great for birdwatching! I’m not a birder, but I saw hummingbirds, hawks and blue scrub jays. It feels immersed in nature, but it’s also super close to Highland Park, so it’s the best of both worlds : ) I enjoyed having access to a mini kitchen area and a porch to have tea in the morning and stargaze at night. Rick was flexible when my check in times changed due to flight issues. One note is that the bathroom is quite small, but accurate to the photos: just take a close look at those first : ) It wouldn’t be my first choice as a romantic getaway, but as a solo traveler, this is 100% a great place! Overall, Rick was very helpful, the space was great, the bed was comfy and the nature aspect is hard to beat : )
