Truly a retreat at Casa Carmona. If I had traveled up to LA just to spend a quiet weekend, this spot would be perfect. The guest house is in a beautiful and serene garden setting, with a fountain, large outdoor patio, table, and lounge chairs, set in a very private garden. Inside, the accommodations are very comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Add to that the little touches Linda provided - from the welcome note, to the cupcakes, to the travel books, and local spot recommendations - Casa Carmona is also a well-stocked travel resource center for the area!
We were able to walk to Hollywood, grabbing breakfast on the way and seeing many of the sights that LA is famous for. We walked through La Brea Tarpits, saw the LA Museum, the Automotive Museum, and many of Hollywood's hot spots. From there we walked back, took a nap, and then headed back out for another round of LA fun.
We will be back, soon for a restful, lovely respite from the daily grind and to visit this wonderful oasis in the midst of LA!
