Mark and Barbara were great hosts and their guesthouse was the ideal place for our family trip to LA. The guesthouse is recently and tastefully renovated, spacious and comfortable. It is very private, situated above the main house, with a lovely private patio and garden. Nestled just above the hub-bub but easy walking distance to the the Metro, I commuted to my job in Pasadena quickly and painlessly. There are also some good eateries in walking distance and Griffith Park is a short walk away. With our 4-year old girl, were a little worried about the dogs but they were very friendly, especially Simon, whom our daughter still misses! This will be our go-to place to stay in LA from now on...
