I had such an incredible time staying at Cindy and Anthony's urban farm! Cindy and Anthony are two of the loveliest, kindest people you could hope to meet, and I greatly enjoyed getting to know them both - not to mention the host of animals! As an animal lover, I was in heaven, and it was a treat to be surrounded by a host of friendly creatures, and could look down from my writing desk to see the pig and tortoise cozied up together! The surrounds are beautiful, and the view out to the hills is lovely, I often would start my day and end my day sitting on the deck looking out to the hills. The studio is so cosy with everything you need, and it felt like the perfect retreat, and all the more appreciated as I was in town for work - this made me feel like I was on holiday! And the location is excellent - as a former resident of the area I can definitely attest to the location - Melrose Ave is practically on your doorstep for food, wine, coffee, shopping, and a bit further afield is the Grove and Farmers Market. The neighbourhood is safe too, so no problem to get around on foot. This is such a special and magical gem of a place, I couldn't believe I would find such a retreat in the thick of the action in LA! Thank you again Cindy and Anthony, you made my stay so memorable, thank you for your kindness, and I hope to see you both very soon - and give each of the animals a pat for me!
