My wife and I had a wonderful long weekend at Barry's. The pool was spectacular, the location was easy to find, and we had everything we needed. We're LA locals, so we had some friends over for dinner and a game night, and they also enjoyed their brief stay. You need to be cautious about noise, though, because outdoor poolside sound reverberates through the canyon, and the feeling of isolation can be deceptive -- there are other people in the canyon area, but it feels like you have the hillside to yourself. Highly recommended.
