What a special home! A wonderful, quiet, peaceful retreat located in a very convenient location for west side access. Jim and his wife (and the pup) were very helpful and accommodating. This trip was a scouting mission for an eventual move to LA (from NYC) and I couldn't have asked for a better spot to explore the city from. It also treated me to exactly what I would be gaining leaving the big city - quiet, calm, sunny, cozy home life. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting. Be sure to keep the windows and doors open while enjoying a nap inside for maximum relaxation - the water fountain will put you to sleep in no time.
