This place truly exceeded all of our expectations!!
First, though, for the boring stuff I usually look for in reviews: the photos are quite accurate (so there is one bedroom and one optional bed in the living room/kitchen). The wifi is quite good (movie watching good at least), but there is, if it matters, no service for AT&T or Verizon. Someone mentioned a dog in some past reviews, but we never got to see it. The place is pretty easy to find and the roads on the way there are all well paved.
More importantly, it's the little touches that make this stay so exceptional! First, the amazing red rock park is just a 15 minute walk away, 12 of which are along a very trail-like street! Second, Paul gave us a tour of the fantastic treehouse he and his friends built :D Third, Paul made a structure of paper and wood in our private firepit before we got there and it lit up at the first match, making for a lovely evening, especially combined with the wine and beer Paul left us in the fridge! If I have to go to LA again, I will check if Paul's place is available before I do anything else!
