My boyfriend and I just arrived home from a week long stay with Helen at the cottage. It was absolutely the best! Helen is a super hospitable host, she made sure we had everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - we needed. The house is very comfortable and pretty. There is a large, beautiful kitchen with all breakfast goodies provided, so you can cook your own breakfast at whatever time you like. The bedroom is wonderful; spacey and light, with that cottage feel to it (and Helen put out fresh roses for us that smelled delicious). The bed is sooo comfortable. Lovely bathroom too. Beautiful scenery of the Hollywood Hills, great view from the garden. In short: we LOVED our stay there and we didn't want to go home. If you are looking for a vacation spot, this is really something else. Don't hesitate, just go! : )
