If you are looking for some serenity while in the LA area, this is the place for you. Home is clean and beds are comfy -- the two most important things for me! Enjoyed watching the sunset immensely. Appliances are not the most modern, but that is not why you stay at a place like this. Think yoga, meditation, relaxation, and hummingbirds. About a 25-30 minute drive to Hollywood or Santa Monica, so keep that in mind. We were a little freaked out with the roads after dark, so we would make sure to arrive before the sun goes down if we stay again (and we plan to!). Host was very responsive and helpful.
