We had a wonderful stay at Maddalena's guest house plus Maddalena herself is very friendly host. It is a small and cozy place, perfect for a couple. The house has everything you need, incl. a fully equipped kitchen and a big porch where you can chill or have dinner. We didn't know Atwater before. But as a bonus on top it is a quiet and lovely area not far from Hollywood and especially not far from the Griffith Observatory. If we'll come back to L.A. we'd always try to stay at this place.
