Linda greeted us as soon as we arrived and gave us the tour of the place. She is very welcoming and helpful. The guest space is beautifully decorated and has a really cool vibe. The location couldn't be more perfect! A quick walk to Starbucks for coffee in the morning and a short walk to any of the main attractions in the area.
A few things fell short for us on our trip. When arranging our trip we specifically asked if there were hypoallergenic pillows and blankets because I am severely allergic. Linda let us know that she had hypoallergenic blankets and pillows she could switch out for us but Unfortunately when we got there the blanket that was on the bed was down filled. She had a couple other small blankets in baskets that were not feathered filled that I switched. But my allergies are really severe and I shouldnt even be in a room where the feather filled blankets are being moved around and entering into the air. We were also told on arrival that the couch was filled with feathers. We considered cancelling the reservation that day and going to another place but didnt want to eat into our short time in LA. Plus a place on such short notice would be difficult to find and a hotel could be very expensive on short notice. So we avoided sitting on the couch which left us with a metal chair and a small arm chair to sit on.
We were also surprised to learn that the space was connected to the main house we were told that it was a separate space. So probably just a miscommunication. We really like our privacy so we were hoping for a guest house that was detached. I was really excited to enjoy the outdoor space!
But unfortunately the outdoor space looked beautiful but was covered with leaves and pretty messy so it did not really feel like a useble space. And again was not as private as I was hoping, it looked into the main house.
There was a big beautiful desk that would be great for working but unfortunately the WiFi was slow and often didn't work at all so that made it quite difficult to get my work done.
Besides things that really seem more a preference issue for us Linda is a very hospitable host. She leaves you all kinds of treats including a homemade banana bread and a bottle of wine which was so thoughtful! I think for most people that don't have our specific needs they would really enjoy this space for a short stay to catch a concert.
