I have to say in all sincerity this is the coolest home I have stayed in.
The view of the entire Los Angeles area and Santa Monica beaches from the bed of the unit is so mind blowing that it's beyond words. It's an aesthetic paradise and a photographer's dream come true. For anyone who enjoys breath taking views this is an absolute treat of a home to be in. Everything feels inspiring, open and possible from this vantage point.
And because of the corner space the home occupies, both sunrise and sunset are viewable from inside the living space and bed as well as above the home on a 360 degree open view deck. I saw the most brilliant sunrise of my life the first night staying here! Life changing beauty! Another sunrise on a foggy morning made L.A. look like it was a floating kingdom on an ocean of pastel pink and violet magic. At night the city shimmers like an electronic circuit board stretching out to infinity.
What makes the view even more fantastic though is the main living space has been designed with loft sized floor to ceiling glass walls that may fully retract so the space becomes open as if you are outside!!! This feature is so cool I'm still in love with it. It allows so much sunlight in you can sun bathe from bed or basically sleep outside when weather is nice. This is such a joy. And wrap around electronic blinds and air conditioning allows the climate to be perfectly controlled with a few button presses.
The space surrounding the home is quite amazing, high up in the hills of Crestwood on a road with a name you would find in a great fairy tale. Eagles, hawks, jays and hummingbirds fight and play through out the day. One hummingbird came up to me in bed with the glass walls fully open! Doesn't get more amazing.
The amenities are great and remind me of higher end European living spaces with really tasteful furniture designs. The shower is phenomenal. Bed is firm and comfortable, I slept quite deeply. Wish I was in laying on it right now.
Alex is a fun great personality to interact with. He was very friendly, prompt in replying to any need I had and genuinely seems to care about making sure his guests are happy in his home.
I am also incredibly thankful to have gotten some important writing accomplished with this gorgeous space to work from. Without a doubt, the inspirational energy of this home helped immensely. I can not thank Alex and Magda enough for letting me stay in this most lovely and beautiful home. It was an eye opening inspirational stay that I am still so very happy to even think about. I could easily go on and on appreciating my stay here, but I will leave it at this: highest recommendation possible. Dank je wel Alex and Magda.
