I had a lovely stay in Pamela and Jays guest house. The guest house itself is spacious and sitting outside watching the hummingbirds was one of my favourite things..I was on this trip primarily to work and you can't get a better base for this...I had great sleep and was able to focus on my work..Pamela is extremely accommodating and when i asked for some extra things for the kitchen (I was cooking a lot from home) she didn't hesitate in providing these...she always responds to texts very quickly but also respects your privacy...they are a lovely family and I wouldn't hesitate in staying here again...I also really liked Echo Park, the area seems very up and coming with some cute coffee shops (I highly recommend Blue Bottle coffee which is particularly good for laptop work) and Yogala, is a fantastic yoga studio 20 minute walk away...there is also a lovely organic supermarket very near called Lassens which has everything you need.
