Me, my boyfriend Rick & dog MAY enjoyed Lauren's artist retreat healing house in Atwater Village. Me & my dog MAY needed to have an emergency relocation from my uninhabitable bungalow in Elysian Valley (Frog Town). So glad I found this house, and more over booking & communication with Lauren were smooth & all the outdoor amenities (salt water pool, Japanese warming tub & sauna) helped me from a relocation stress. The backyard felt like a miniature forest. While we were staying, I also worked well as an artist. Especially the bedroom & den was perfect place for me to write, compose & create. It felt like being in an artist's womb :) I enjoyed a deep indoor tub too for night soakings... So close to the main street of Atwater Village with variety of shops, restaurants and the one of the best certified Sunday farmer's markets in Los Angeles. Safe & always found plenty street parking spaces. Would like to recommend to my family & friends coming to town!
