Blake's guest house is cozy and the neighborhood is very quiet. The yard and terrace are quite charming--a bit too chilly this time of year for us to get much use out of them, but ideal spaces to kick back during warmer weather. Easy access to Sunset Blvd. which takes you downtown or towards Hollywood. Griffith Park is very close. Blake is an amiable host. I'm a native Angeleno who knows his way around, but I'm sure Blake would be happy to give new visitors advice on where to go and what to see. Highly recommended.
