Hope was a warm host and her place was very charming. I really enjoyed being surrounded by nature, the rustic decor, and the patio. Also, her bed was super comfy.
I almost hate to leave anything negative because of how sweet both she and her home were but...there was a heat wave in LA when i was there, so having no AC was a downer. Even a fan would have made a big difference. But its almost never that hot in LA, so that shouldn't be a problem for most.
Also, if you have heavy luggage this place may not be for you, as it was difficult to get up the stairs and around the winding cobblestone to the house.
But ultimately, if you travel lite, love the great outdoors, and don't get caught by a heat wave, you'll have a fine time here.
