You really do feel on top of the world from Shida’s place! It’s high up in the canyon so is very peaceful and beautiful. The views are spectacular! It was winter when we were there so unfortunately could go for a swim in the pool, but it looked fabulous. Take care on the one-lane road to the house - make sure you don’t go too fast around the bends. Loved Laurel Canyon and getting coffee and bagels from the Country Store.
