This property in Laurel Canyon is an absolute gem. Up in the hills, it feels a world away from the craziness of the city but is actually just a few minutes drive from Sunset Boulevard. It's a great base from which to go and explore LA and beyond. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated, with a great eat in kitchen that has everything you need. We were visiting with our 4 year old son so we weren't heading out on the town every night - we spent most evenings sitting in the leafy garden, enjoying the hot tub and cooking dinner on the gas barbecue. Absolutely perfect! (And it has the hugest, most comfortable bed we've ever slept in!) The hosts Wendy & Rik are just GREAT! Two of the nicest people you will ever meet; they made us incredibly welcome and meeting them was a real highlight of our trip (and if you can get them singing, you're in for a treat!) We cannot recommend this property & hosts highly enough. Back in the UK our son calls it 'my lovely LA home' and that says it all!
