What an incredible trip. Honestly, everything about this house was paradise. I came with a couple of friends and had the pleasure of staying in the master suite:
1. The most luxurious bed. I want to know where Charlie got those pillows because every night (and every day's nap), I slept amazing. It's a huge canopy bed with mirrors all around, so you feel like a queen. There's a cool breeze that comes in when you leave the balcony door open, and it's a really soothing place to spend time.
2. When I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, a faint green light would sense when I was walking and would kick on to give me a path to the bathroom. Pretty cool touch.
3. The bathroom. Plenty of thick towels, phone in the toilet closet (like a chic old-school hotel), oriental rug across the massive floor. Just beautiful. Huge closet with robes, too.
4. Private balcony overlooking the Venice canals. Pinch me.
Bathrooms next. The downstairs bathroom had individual towels so each guest could use a fresh towel every time they went, then they were promptly cleaned and replaced by the maid the next day. Really fancy touch. Every bedroom (all 3) also had their own bathrooms with showers and tubs, and were all marble and luxurious.
The garage was also nice - a friend who lives in town came over one night and was able to park in the (2-car) garage without any issue. It lights up really bright from the outside so when we got food delivered, couriers easily found the place.
There's also a grand piano in the family room, a big, round table in the kitchen perfect for fun times with friends, and there's a hot tub on the roof with a picnic table up there to soak in the LA views.
Quick walking distance to Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney but you might just want to sit on the patio and stare at the canals all day (or just keep sleeping in the comfy beds)!
I don't have another trip to LA coming up, but I honestly want to book one just to spend more time in Charlie's house. Thanks again for everything -- we'll be back!
