We've spent many a weekend in LA but none as wonderful as the two nights we spent at Shelley's guest house. Shelly is a sweet and generous hostess, and the guest house is a slice of heaven. Shelly's home is a 1920s gem in the Arlington Hts neighborhood of LA, and the guest house is surrounded by a beautiful garden setting where we enjoyed our coffee (compliments of the house) every morning and wine every evening. The interior of the guest house is clean and spacious with very tasteful (and artsy) decor. Shelly took the time to tell us about all her favorite haunts in LA and even wrote up a two-page list of her favorite restaurants, since we are fellow foodies. If you try to rent Shelly's guest house and it's not available, it's probably b/c we will be going back again and again for more fantastic getaways! Oh yeah, did I mention the awesome continental breakfast and stocked refrigerator? GREAT jams made by Shelly's dad, delicious banana bread and my personal favorite, La Brea Bakery bread, along with fresh fruit and cheese. NICE!!
