Sixto's place was great! He was very communicative leading up to arrival and during the stay, always able to answer our questions and offer local tips & suggestions. Entrance is granted via code which meant we didn't have to worry about losing a key or something.
The location really can't be beat. You are close to great food in every direction. We were worried that it would be a loud area, since there are busier streets and strips nearby, but "serene" is how we described the actual neighborhood. It is so quiet and easy to sleep.
Speaking of sleeping, the bed was fantastic. Definitely a soft mattress, but that's the kind I prefer. And the linens were crazy comfortable!
We also made great use of the small fridge and microwave for snacks and breakfast (Trader Joe's & Ralph's in walking distance for grocery basics). Sixto also provided 4 or 5 big bottles of water from his reverse osmosis filter, which lasted the whole stay.
The gardens are amazing! A really cool tree is the centerpiece. And we liked meeting Annabelle, one of Sixto's chickens! [Note, they did not cause an issue with noise. Very chill girls.]
We came back one morning to a hand drawn map from Sixto & Guy with recommendations and a fresh sprig of rosemary! Few better smells in the world. If we find ourselves in LA again, we hope this place is available!
