Just walking back to Jocelyn’s calm and welcoming unit is a delight from the LA rush. Street parking is easy with the permit she provides, and after that, you can leave worldly cares behind. The look of the original craftsman garage belies the beauty and comfort of the interior conversion. She provides every detail you can think of, without clutter. The simplicity of the clean lines, decor, and lovely bathroom plus modern detailing makes this an oasis. The birds heard from the open French doors in the morning is delightful. The Jasmine and roses in her garden give it all a finishing touch of welcoming.
None of this compares to her warmth, hospitality, and willingness to accommodate our special needs. We were visiting and ill relative nearby, and felt this was an island of rest. If you want more activity, Larchmont Village is a short walk away and can provide plenty of stimulus with a neighborhood feel. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby.
I especially liked the tiny espresso machine and the yummy biscuits. Finding soda and cold beer in the fridge was a surprise, as well as a fridge big enough to put leftovers and grocery supplies in.
The real eye catcher is the fantastic wallpaper, and the comfortable bed which looks out on the garden. It has a down comforter just the right weight.
The bistro table and chairs outside the door gives one an opportunity to enjoy the pleasant Southern California weather.
If you have an occasion to go to Los Angeles, Larchmont Village and Jocelyn’s hospitality are a welcoming fertile spot in the dessert of LA. I highly recommend it, we shall return!
