This is the perfect place to stay in LA. You're basically in the center of the city, which means that everything is an easy drive - the beach to the west, the hills and studios to the north and Silver Lake and Pasadena to the east. Two amazing places to eat and drink are just a few (walkable!) blocks away - Republique for gorgeous pastries or a sit down breakfast in the most charming space, and All Season Brewing in an old Firestone tire showroom which offers a big outdoor space where you can eat dirty fries with a spicy margarita and watch the sun set over La Brea. Also, the house itself is classic old Hollywood, with Spanish tiles, beautiful antique furniture, and a landscaped pool area bordered by citrus trees. You can fix a G&T with kumquats and lemons warmed from the sun or eat the best orange you've ever had. The renovated showers and bath feel like you're staying in a luxury hotel. At night you can settle into the cozy sofas in the den to watch movies on the giant TV. In short, this house made our vacation a triumph.
