Ricco & Julie's guesthouse is such a lovely haven in the middle of Los Angeles. Their garden alone is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. The guesthouse is very well equipped and cozy, and a perfect place for my partner and me while we were in town. Their instructions were incredibly detailed and helpful and allowed me to check in late without worrying about disturbing them or their adorable pets who are super friendly. On top of all of this the neighborhood is great. I ran into a perfect pastry place (quite picky as a Frenchman) right across the street on Melrose (Chouquette), a perfect coffee shop (Rocketship) and one of the best pizza/pasta joints I've been to in a long while (Ronan). It's quite a catch!
