Shawn’s place is spectacular! I don’t think we could have enjoyed staying anywhere as much as we enjoyed it here. Check in was a breeze and Shawn was great at responding to my questions beforehand.
We were warmly greeted by Carol in the courtyard when we checked in. She gave us a short tour outside and showed us the different views from every angle. The house itself was just spectacular. The views out the back terrace….ah we could have sat there all day. Inside the home was just as cool, with plenty of greenery and artwork to keep you mesmerized for hours. Super kitchy and eccentric, I got a kick out of the various little treasures hiding all over.
There are plenty of amenities in the house in case you forget anything. The bathroom has plenty of toiletries left behind from past travelers. Wet bar/kitchen is stocked with plenty of silverware, dishes and gadgets. The bedroom is where we spent most of the time though. The bed was one of the comfiest clouds I have ever laid in, and the view from the bed was one we didn’t want to leave. This is a great place if you enjoy the mornings and being greeted by the morning light, as we do.
The property itself is very quiet. Even off back on the patio, there is no noise from the city. Just pure peace.
Parking is a breeze, street parking is easy and right out front. The property itself is secure, with a main gate leading into a courtyard that is shared as a common space. Even though there are a couple other rentals, we felt total privacy and didn’t bump into any neighbors.
This place is a gem and if you are hesitating, DON’T! It’s a rare find anywhere but in LA especially - privacy, style, peacefulness, views. We hope to get the chance to stay there again.
