Helen's place is picturesque in a shabby chic kinda way. Plus the view from her backyard is breathtaking! She has a generous supply of everything you need - toiletries, food. She was also a very helpful and responsive host. Would definitely book her again when I go back to LA. Btw, she has 4 dogs who will bark and follow you at times. If you're not big on pets then re-consider. We don't mind them at all :)
