I have to start out by saying that this was my first time staying in this guest house. I have been staying in the one next to it for some time and this was my first time in the more spacious guest house of the two. Overall, I had a really good experience. It's a nice quiet retreat from the noise of L.A. and appreciate that it feels like an escape. It's nice to put the day behind and arrive at this property. Although I didn't really use it, I do like that it has a tiny kitchen area and a nice large closet and dresser. It's very clean and comfortable and would stay here again without thinking twice. Serena is very nice and although I hadn't met her, she was very responsive to emails and easy to get a hold of. That to me goes a long way when booking through this site. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice retreat.
