I can't find a single uncomplimentary thing to write about our stay at Robert and Stephanie's house in North Hollywood. We arrived late after a flight delay to find Stephanie kindly waiting for us to give us a run through of the house's lighting, security, and entertainment systems. Stephanie and Robert had also provided a (more than) generous welcome basket of goodies which took our family a full week to munch our way through. The house was spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated, but still felt very homely. There were enough pots, pans, dishes, silverware, glasses and more to prepare any kind of family meal here. The bedrooms felt generous and restful. The beds were soft, and the sheets were crisp. There were more bathroom and pool towels than we needed, and everything was organised in such a way that whatever we needed in that moment was no more than a hand's breadth away at any time. The garden with its beautiful lighting was another true highlight. The pool was a huge hit with our children, and the outdoor table, chairs, and impressive BBQ area made evening meals outside a real treat. Los Angeles is one of the most exciting cities in the world in which to explore, but we struggled at times to even want leave the house and its many comforts behind.
