Well, if you want that old school LA canyon vibe, this is the place, I felt like I was in a movie set (there actually was filming going on down the street) or a vintage Steely Dan lyric. House is spacious, clean and comfortable. The drive is unique, I recommend grabbing supplies before you head up so you can just stay on the hill. There are little markets, restaurants and shops in the canyon, and PCH is only about 10 minutes down the hill, but its a winding road for sure. And yes, the peacocks are quite vocal, pretty cool if you ask me. Highly recommend
