if you are looking for a different Los Angeles experience, this is the place to go. A lovely little artist studio in the backyard of a quiet West Hollwyood garden home with lots of trees and flowers. Although there are animals in the yard (chicken, bunnies, goats, a giant turtle and a miniature horse!) the place is clean and well kept. You might wake up in the morning not to the sound of traffic, but to the sound of birds. Not exactly what you would expect just minutes away (walking) from trendy Melrose Avenue with all its restaurants, cafés and bars. Cyan and Anthon are wonderful and very discreet hosts, they let me borrow one of their bcycles to explore the neighborhood. If you prefer the more glamorous sides of LA, this might not be what you are looking for. But even if you like both: the nightlife options of West Hollwyood and a quiet retreat to relax, this is a great combination. Would come back anytime.
