Pat’s place is the perfect jump-off to everything you want to do in LA, yet at the same removed in the magical mystery land that is Laurel Canyon. Ascend just four minutes from the sunset strip into a whole ‘nother world. In the mornings you can walk down the hill to the Canyon Store for coffee and excellent bagels, almost as good as NYC. In the evenings, you’re a $5 Uber ride from any bars and nightlife options in WeHo.
The place itself is a perfectly outfitted little house of its own. It’s very separate from Pat and his wife’s place, and you descend about 20 stairs to get here. Another huge bonus: your own parking space. That’s a rarity in the hills. Staying here provided the perfect balance during our extended stay: a place to call home (I made breakfast or dinner almost every day - the kitchen is large and well equipped) but also close enough to everything. If you’re staying with a pet, it’s the perfect set up. Any time I stay with my dog I always wonder what the set up will be with my host’s animals - will there be cats and dogs roaming everywhere? Like I said the two properties are well separated by fences and Pat’s two little dogs keep to themselves so you needn’t worry.
Pat and his wife Debra’s hospitality and quick responses made them the perfect hosts. I would - and fully intend to - stay here again. A++++
