A really different and positive stay in a very unique home. Great neighborhood with lots of hidden public stairways and good energy. This home has “reuse and recycle” story as it was rebuilt after the 1994 earthquake with care and creativity. Nothing is new, but everything has character, care and purpose. Al is a very creative person who gives a great tour at the start of the visit - worth taking the time both to understand the traits of the home and its story. Definitely not a place to have a rowdy group - the house rules are worth noting - but we did host a small dinner party for friends who live in LA and they were just enchanted by the house. Good outdoor spaces. Bathrooms are really special but not conventional - taking a shower in the clawfoot tub is like going back in time! Spotlessly clean which is really positive. Photos are accurate so if you are drawn to the images, you will find what you are looking for!
