It isn’t easy to adequately describe Jim and Gerson’s lovely oasis in L.A., but I’ll try. The landscaping, with fountains and lush plants, brings birdsong into the bedroom in the morning and dappled California sunshine onto the sprawling backyard patio all day. The privacy of the patio area, with its palm trees and flowering plants, leaves you feeling that you could be in a retreat in any sunny part of the world. But you’re glad you’re here in North Hollywood, because the simple access to major roadways easily gets you anywhere you want to be in this amazing city. After a day out exploring, you can rest out on the patio under the charming lights or step into the hot tub to do a little stargazing while treating yourself to another level of relaxation. Surrounding all this is the friendly, warm, and inviting atmosphere that Jim and Gerson create themselves, just by being . . . Jim and Gerson. My husband and I feel like we struck gold by choosing this place for our four-day visit to L.A. We went home relaxed, reinvigorated, and with our hearts full.
