We had the pleasure of staying at stacey's for nearly 6 weeks in sept-oct. For work we come to l.a a few times a year and stay at a lot of different places. This has been our favourite by a long shot. When we arrived Stacey very nicely allowed us to check in earlier cos our flight meant we arrived before the specified check in time. There was a sweet welcome basket with some essentials and a very helpful house/neighbourhood guide. The place is like a little tree house sanctuary. We were there during a crazy L.a heatwave where it was over 100 degrees farenheit for nearly 2 weeks straight. The air conditioning in the middle of the day was a blessing. The house has a lovely porch out the front that we practically lived on, with a beautiful peaceful tree that overhangs and offers shade. We meditated out here in the early morning as the sun came up and felt a million miles away from our work and the chaos of the city. In the afternoons we would turn off the AC and open up all the doors and just have a gorgeous breeze go through the place. The kitchen is incredibly well kitted out. We did a lot of cooking and wanted for nothing. Everything was super clean and thoughtfully supplied. It's hard to pin down exactly what gives a place such a great vibe and atmosphere but this place has it. It became a real home for us and we would look forward to returning at the end of the day like we were going to our secret retreat. We could walk down to sunset blvd to some great places to eat...the ramen and vietnamese place became our favourites. Cafe Organico down the road on bellevue was our morning hang out. I rate it higher than Intelligentsia! And no formidable crowds! We went to the farmers market on saturdays and had our giant fridge stocked with wonderful californian produce. And there is a great bath that was a nice luxury to have. Although the l.a drought made us not have too many of them.(!) If you have the opportunity to stay here I can't recommend it highly enough. Stacey was very helpful asking our advice on what the house could benefit from and although we didn't actually meet her we felt we could contact her easily to ask any questions, etc. For a couple this place has more than enough space. We both work from home a lot and having that gorgeous wooden giant dining table was fabulous for writing, and with that and the porch we never felt we were in each others shadows. I hope you get to stay at Staceys. The only thing I am worried about writing this review is that next time it will have been discovered and will be too busy for us to book!
