Jessa was the perfect host, making us feel extremely welcome while allowing us privacy. The house is beautiful with a really spacious and comfortable lounge area with views on both sides onto lovely gardens , and the comfiest sofa! There is access to a shared courtyard garden and also a totally private rear garden which is thoughtfully laid out with great pool, jacuzzi, sun loungers, covered area with comfy seating and is surrounded by mature trees, making it feel very relaxing. The location is great, Jessa provided information on lovely local restaurants, it was a relatively short drive into Hollywood and downtown LA but sufficiently removed so that it felt very peaceful and safe. The drive through Topanga Canyon to beaches at Santa Monica or Malibu is not too far either and a great journey. Overall a really comfortable and relaxing base to explore LA , thanks Jessa!
