My son and I just spent 5 days in this lovely guesthouse and we are already talking about finding a way to return sometime soon.!
I can’t think of a single thing to make it better, and could go on and on about all the things that make it exceptional but here are a few.....The location is perfect; with an awesome bakery/cafe aptly named ‘Superba’ 1-2 min walk down the street, for bits and pieces there is a general store 2-3 minutes away, and for a more complete grocery experience there’s a Whole Foods about 10-15 min walk away. Venice Beach is a sweet 15-20 min walk down various pedestrian pathways and some quiet streets. Yes, we went to LA and didn’t rent a car. Shocking! Mind you, we were there for a wedding in Santa Monica, so being with family was the priority, and spending time walking and exploring was also on the menu. ...Uber/Lyft are so convenient! I chose the guesthouse for the location and the walk ability factor, but also for the lovely vibe that comes across somewhat in the photos but in real life—- wow—- this spot is an oasis!! It is very peaceful, private, and restful . We loved the outdoor patio area and the outdoor fireplace was amazing; a great way to end a busy day with some zen time.
Chris was the perfect host. He was very helpful and quick to respond when I had a question, and lent me an iron and ironing board to get our wedding gear ready, but also gave us lots of privacy and made us feel welcome in this lovely place.
We did start calling it “home” pretty much from the moment we arrived. The next time we make it to LA this will be our first choice to stay—- thank you Chris for creating this sweet place and for sharing it with us!
We hope to see you again soon!
