I was in town for the weekend with my girlfriend and was looking for a place that wasn't "run of the mill" like any normal expensive LA hotel. I luckily came across Shelley's place and couldn't have been happier. Shelley is an excellent host, providing a very private and beautiful studio guest house, homemade muffins with fruit and toast for breakfast and just a really beautiful environment to get away. The location is great, really close to Santa Monica/Venice, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills. Best of all, she gave us the BEST Japanese restaurant recommendation ever. I won't give it away but be sure to ask if you stay there and enjoy. Thanks Shelley!
