Sondra's home is located on a lovely centrally-located residential street with up-scale mid-sized homes (and pleasing landscaping) in the Westwood-Cheviot Hills area of LA. Although close to Pico Blvd shopping, her home is found in a quiet neighborhood with many more well-kept streets all around. (Even after seeing the great photos she's posted of her home on airbnb, I was still a bit surprised that her home is, well, perfect!) She's clearly a talented designer -- and her home is laid out lovingly with what I'd call European Country -- with lots of beautifully carved wooden pieces surrounded by well-placed sofas and chairs in creams and whites.

The property is quite secure -- with a small secluded garden and formal entry found behind an attractive (electric) gate. Sondra (and her friendly, well-behaved and beautiful dogs, Charlie and Bentley, if I recall their names correctly) met me at the front door when I arrived. And Sondra was immediately friendly -- and well-versed in the art of making her guests feel truly welcome... And yet Sondra managed to also be thorough and eager to answer any questions.

My room -- upstairs, in front -- was charming. My bed wasn't just pretty; it was exceptionally comfortable. And the en suite bathroom was a good size and lovely -- with a large shower/deep tub enclosure with jacuzzi jets. (Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to enjoy it!)
I wouldn't hesitate a moment to stay at Sondra's in future. It was idyllic.
