Lisa is an exceptional host! We contacted her last minute and were set up in the place in less than a couple of hours. The space is open, bright, and homey--Marfa meets Joshua Tree. One thing to note: There are no window coverings (but most are frosted for privacy), so if you're sensitive to morning light, bring an eye mask. It didn't bother us - it makes for a very happy space! There is also the added benefit of looking out at their gorgeous yard. The house is on a quiet street with lovely neighbors. It's fun to walk to the local coffee shop or breakfast spot. You can truly live like a local in Glassell Park (a hip neighborhood on the east side of LA with lots of great restaurants and bars). The space would also make a great writer's retreat: private, calm and inspiring. Lisa clearly took the time to carefully curate a wonderful experience, with thoughtful little amenities hidden in every room, from loads of books to a variety of teas (and good coffee beans!) It truly feels like you're visiting a friend. Thank you, Lisa!
