Mellow and cozy and so quiet, tucked away at the top of winding Appian Way amid the eucalyptus trees in storied Laurel Canyon. It's a quick roll down the hill to the Canyon Country Store for your coffee, bagels, and sundries. And it's easy to get to either end of the Sunset Strip (via Laurel Canyon Boulevard or Sunset Plaza) or to backdoor it out to the Valley. Easy parking and kid friendly, too. Anya and her mother were responsive and helpful.
