Amazing hosts, amazing place! We felt like guests in one of the cottages at Hearst Castle :) Pam and George are wonderful hosts, made us welcome from the first minute on, it was fun talking to them and they are very knowledgeable of the area and provided us with tons of useful tips. No LA travel guide necessary if you stay at their place! The cottage is very lovely and well equipped. If you think shoot, I forgot... just open a closet and you'll find it. Actually, the two are more attentive then some of my friends I'm staying with - they never give me my favorite chocolate! :) If you're looking for a place in the LA area, stay here!!
