First things first-- Michal is a gem of a host! He was so warm and welcoming on a particularly sweltering hot LA day, and had a cool bottle of Chardonnay for my friend and I almost immediately. The property itself may seem unassuming from the front, but WOW. This is the house of any design lover's dreams. Michal collects and curates exceptional antiques from the Arts and Crafts Movement period and happily answered all our questions about them. The outdoor garden oasis is a must-see; I loved sitting out and ruminating about nothing at all. The room I stayed was in the main house on the first floor. Very quiet, no issues at all. I hapPened to visit during a freak heat spike, so the room was very room, but nothing a fan (which was provided) and open windows couldn't cure. Alas, I wish I had more time to chat with Michal. Till next time! Thank you!
