My partner and me had been wanting to get down to LA for a very long time but I had been pretty much debilitated by a spinal injury from August through November. Living in Oakland is very "city" and going to LA can be somewhat stressful at times so coming out of an injury we wanted to stay somewhere peaceful, easy for me to walk into & warm. Linda's guest house was amazing! Not only is it absolutely decorated perfect that you could go live there full time it also has the best of the best in fixtures, furniture, floors, appliances, mattress etc. Linda obviously has traveled in her life & she has used that knowledge in setting up her guest house as a five star suite. The floors are gorgeous!!! The sound of fountains surround you when you are sitting on the patio. There is something really special about having water sounds close by..Soothing..... Beautiful Santa Monica mountain & canyon view.... Truly a gem. My partner and me slept like babies which was much needed. I didn't want to leave! Linda greeted us when we arrived and took time to talk to us about the area, our stay and anything we might need to know about the property... Her garden is magical. I highly suggest staying at landscape artists home because you know the grounds will be impeccable. This place was so great we actually want to go back soon. We haven't put LA on the calendar much because it isn't that relaxed for us but now after staying at Linda's guest house we now feel like we could go back often... If you want to relax, sleep well, be greeted by a wonderful warm woman such as Linda & enjoy nature I would say go stay there. It's like a high end hotel cottage or suite in the mountains of LA.. Perfect. Absolutely wonderful magical place! We will be back! Thank you Linda & Fig the dog! We didn't want to leave... I can't wait to see you & your doggie again! Thanks a million for hosting an amazing space for me to come stay after a rough time...
