Four of us had a wonderful time at Caroline's beautiful rambling home in Laurel Canyon. It's an easy drive (well, as easy as a drive can be in LA) to UCLA, Amoeba Music, downtown LA, etc. A super quick drive to the Laurel Canyon Country Store and Pace (we got awesome delivery from Pace one night). The beds are all comfortable (even the pull-out couch!), the kitchen is a great place to cook a meal, the dining room was lovely for dinner one night when my brother and sister-in-law came for dinner. We loved that the bedrooms were spread around the house giving plenty of privacy when we wanted it. Gorgeous backyard set right into the hillside. I loved the beautifully tiled shower in the master bathroom. One word of caution: watch out for the driveway, parts of it were too high for our Prius and we scraped the bottom driving in and out.
