My husband and I are LA residents but needed a staycation spot as our place was undergoing some repairs and boy are we so glad we booked this place based on all the other previous glowing reviews and the beautiful pictures that came with the listing.
We were instantly drawn to this home feeling it'd be a great place to recharge, rest and soak in some silence and sunlight; it was truly all of these things and more (so clean! so much nature! an incredible garden! unique design! dreamy kitchen!) all made possible by its charming and thoughtful host, Alain.
Kindly attentive and supremely communicative, Alain truly loves to host and share his space with guests and it shows in the way he has built the loft, the garden and in how he makes sure you have everything you may need. We stayed in the loft with our three month old and he even offered an infant crib and seat. We loved the roominess, the incredible skylights that gave way to an air and breeze that we don't get in the part of LA we live in and the warm details like pineapple juice in the fridge to welcome you and foods 'n spices available in the pantry should you enjoy cooking and eating with that serene garden view.
If you happen to be someone who appreciates eco-friendly living, you'll have to make sure to ask Alain about all the ways the space makes an effort to be so and we promise you'll be inspired like we were. We came away wondering what more we could do to better steward this planet. :)
The loft is as charming as the pictures show (even more so in person!) and coupled with Alain as its host and just overall wonderful human being - we left this magical space wonderfully rested, in awe that spaces like this exist here in LA and honestly just grateful that we got to encounter and enjoy such a unique experience built by someone who genuinely wanted to make sure you were cared for and felt comfortable enough to really call this space home for the days that you were there.
Thank you Alain for all the details and care, for the genuinely warm conversations and for sharing your life's work and talents with us. Our home being repaired was a blessing in disguise seeing that it led us to such a memorable time here, thank you! :)
