Stephen is a very great host, and I can see why he has a lot of great feedback because of it. His place is quirky and charming, and for two hippies like my boyfriend and I, it was the perfect place for us.
We loved the cottage’s rustic feel. It’s nestled well in Topanaga Canyon, yet central enough to get back on the main road for amenities. His backyard feels like a little mystical garden which we spent most of our time in. The peace of nature definitely captures you in and makes you feel deep out of LA. For to LA natives, this was a pleasant surprise.
And to top it all off, it was my birthday and he went out of his way to adorn the front walkway with a banner that made me feel special and festive! When my boyfriend asked him for a conventional oven for our pizza making adventures that night, he happily gave us his own and told us to make ourselves at home. That we sure did!
He balances the perfect combination of being available if need be and respecting our privacy for some bonding time. Loved that.
Thanks again Stephen, we shall return once more. Tell Vespa we say,” meow!”
