Sharin was away during our trip. However, her LA host, Franki, was fabulous and did everything we asked for and more! The place is wonderful with a great view in almost all directions. LA was unusually hot during our visit but the house has good air conditioning and was able to keep the entire place very comfortable. The property has several fruit trees and we enjoyed the grape fruits from her tree. The outdoor grill area and sitting place is very nice and we were able to grill and invite some friends one evening. The extreme daytime heat during our visit kept us indoors most of the day.

The place was very spacious for the 6 of us although the 3rd bedroom is a little small and is probably meant for children. There were plenty of other areas in the house where additional people could comfortably sleep and hang out.

The approach to the place can be a little challenging as the place sits on a hill and there are some one lane streets along the hills that can look a little intimidating. However, you soon get used to it and can actually enjoy the thrill of driving precariously!

We will definitely stay there again if we get back to LA. The place is a little far from central LA and the traffic can be horrendous at times. It is a very private residential area and you will need to drive down the hill for any kind of shopping. Our LA host, Franki, and our remote host, Sharin, were always available via phone, text or e-mail. Sharin, even left us a great bottle of wine to enjoy!!
