A great place to stay near the Hollywood hills. Helen was not home when i arrived but her lovely friend Gloria showed me around. Plus Helen's 3 super dogs!! 2 other friends were there that evening and they invited me to eat with them which was so nice. Company is always welcome when you travel alone. An easy drive from the house to visit Griffith Observatory. A very interesting place to go especially with children. Lots to learn. Also very close to a riding stables which was great fun. My room was lovely with a super bed. I did share the bathroom with other guests but no problem. Helen is very generous and offers breakfast and free run of the rest of her home. The rest of Helen's house is lovely. A nice outside space to use though it's a work in progress. I loved the dogs, so sweet and cute. They barked when anyone arrived but then were quiet (ish) and fun. I am a dog lover so really enjoyed them being around. I met Helen on my last day. She is so lovely and generous, such a nice lady. I really enjoyed my stay.
