Helen's cottage was the perfect getaway up in the hills away from all the noise, chaos, and hustle and bustle down in the city. After battling traffic on an event weekend, it was a welcome oasis of tranquility and peace at her home. Seeing all the beautiful flowers outside and being inside her cozy home, it was instantly calming. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We spent time chatting like I would with a long-time friend. The room I stayed in was large, the bed was very comfortable, and I really liked the big desk to work on my computer. It was nice having the bathroom right across from my room to get ready. The cottage was a few minutes down the access road from Universal Studios Hollywood, which was so convenient. Also closeby was Starbucks, gas station, food, and 101 freeway access. Staying at her home is a great choice and I am so glad I did!
