We had an absolutely fantastic week at Jean-Yves' place in Encino! Jean-Yves is a wonderful and genial host, available when assistance is needed and respectful of privacy at all times. His guest house was perfect for us: two blocks from our destination, in a very quiet beautiful neighborhood with easy parking always. His guest house is lovely, and he has thought of every single detail about what we might need during our stay. We also loved his beautiful yard with its gardens, orange tree, and seclusion. Breakfast every morning in the yard was a highlight for us. The filtered water was an extra treat. Nice well-stocked kitchen, great internet, beautiful bathroom, spacious walk-in closet, comfortable bed, and ultra clean. The proximity to shopping on Ventura Boulevard was great--especially being so close to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods! We look forward to staying at his place again on our next trip to LA.
