Mark & Stephanie’s Peaceful Retreat truly lives up to its name. They have put a lot of care and imagination into making a lovely, comfortable and serene setting for their guests. I especially enjoyed the private patio beside the casita and sitting outside in the morning with my coffee, sometimes joined by a hummingbird. The bed is great, the casita is well-equipped, the WiFi works, and the amenities they provide are generous. Their place is in a super location, too — a central L.A. neighborhood that offers good access to the freeway system and close to the LaBrea Tar Pits and LACMA, the Farmer’s Market, and The Grove. On-street parking was fine. These hosts are great resources for things to do, places to eat, and the best route to get from wherever to wherever. It’s a really special spot offering a great all-around air b’n’b experience.
