Alisa's guesthouse in Palisades was really terrific--certainly one of the nicer places we've stayed in Los Angeles. It's in a very pleasant residential area that was very quiet but easy to get to. The place was very nicely decorated, extremely comfortable, and absolutely immaculate. Alisa was very easy to communicate with--she got back to us on every question almost immediately. She was nice enough to provide some basic food for us when we arrived (bagels and cream cheese, cookies, juice, etc), and the kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal, including pots and pans, dishes, cooking tools--something that is often missing in many places. We really loved the little courtyard with the fountain and the koi pond right outside our French doors. The bed was extremely comfortable and the high ceilings made the place feel very spacious. Wonderful shower, too. Also enjoyed the large flat screen TV that had Netflix available along with DirectTV. All in all, I would rate this place very highly--and we would definitely stay there again. Alisa was very pleasant and friendly, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived till we left.
