We stayed in Brentwood Artist Farmhouse for a month over the holidays and we could not have wished for a better place to be. Delphine is, as many others have commented on, the queen of Hospitality. The house feels bigger than it looks on the pictures and it is so well layer out with the bedrooms on each end of the house and the large living areas in-between. The back yard is amazing, it's so beautifully done that it makes you feel relaxed at once. The only downside for us was that in the winter months the sun sits so low that it is blocked by some trees and that combines with it being a really cold winter (for LA) when we were there unfortunately prevented us from using the back yard as much as we would have liked. On the other hand we used the amazing fireplace much more! One of the (many) other things we loved with the house was that it was so well equipped. We rent houses all the time and it's rare that you have such a great kitchen with all the appliances, cooking utensils, plates, glasses etc you can ever need. Spices and condiments were all there and we also picked fresh herbs from the garden and stuffed our Christmas turkey with! Delphine was so easy going and a delight to deal with - a really interesting person to talk to. Probably the least intrusive person you can ever think of. An example of her great hospitality: When she understood that we thought it was too cold to sit outside at the big dining table she ordered a couple of infrared heaters that she installed so we could benefit from the outdoors more even if it was such a cold December. Such a nice thing to do for us! We should also mention the location - it was perfect for us. only 15 mins to the beach in Santa Monica, easy access to the highway for when we were going to other parts of LA, and we spent a lot of time at the Brentwood Country Mart which is a 20 min walk or 5 min car ride form the house. Great restaurant there and cute shops. All in all: we have nothing but praise for the house and for Delphine. Would recommend highly both for one family or two, or a group of friends. We were our family of 2 adults and 2 kids, plus we had 2 friends there part of the month. We will definitely come back soon, next time in a slightly warmer month than December so we never have to leave the back yard!
