We had an amazing stay in Michele's Courtyard Suite. I was busy working on a film in Alta Dena and needed somewhere peaceful and inviting, and I got way more than I bargained for. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly, really making sure I had everything I needed, and were lovely to talk to at every occasion. The place is absolutely gorgeous. I had to pry myself out of the back courtyard every morning to go to set because it was so beautiful and serene. The soft bubbling fountain and perfectly balanced landscaping made me feel transported to some small village in the south of France. The room itself couldn't have been cozier, with a great soft bed, a comfy desk, and multiple ways to adjust the heating (there's even a floor heater in the tiles) and you can dim the lighting in various combinations to set the perfect ambience. Coming off a hard shoot every day with long hours, this was exactly the kind of serenity and comfort I needed to come home to. I've stayed in a lot of places around the world, and this was high on my list of great experiences. I couldn't recommend it more.
