"It all began in a garden," it said. This sweet cottage in the Hills filled with a good spirit, energy & light was such a lovely welcome for my very first AirBnB experience! Helen told me that "mi casa es su casa" & she truly meant that. I had plans to dine all over LA but I found myself cooking breakfast in the morning & enjoying the sunshine & views on her outside deck. I slept like a baby on the comfy bed & to the sounds of the water fountain outside my cottage windows. I truly appreciate the little and lovely things that Helen does to make it a special visit, from the fresh roses in the room, the heated blanket, the basket of treats in the room, the plush towels, the array of teas to the quotes everywhere throughout the house: "Today...may beautiful things happen to you..."

This is a dog-friendly home so be prepared for lots of sweet dogs loving on you (Faith is such sweetheart, Tyler is such a gentle soul...& the other two are rambunctious!) & keep in mind that the 2 bathrooms are shared but in the 2 days I was there, I didn't experience a wait and barely saw the other guests.

I would definitely stay at Helen's again because it truly felt like a home to me.
