I had a fantastic stay at Helen's place with zero complaints! Staying in the master suite felt like a real respite and the room was bigger than most hotel rooms. I loved the king size bed and even checked the brand of pillows because they were so comfy (so I can buy some myself!) Everything was super clean. There's a window unit AC which kept my room cool. I appreciated the little snack basket in my room when I arrived. Yummy. I had a very relaxing stay and I was impressed about how quiet it was. I'm a complete dog lover so I was really looking forward to spending time with Helen's dogs. But I also know that with 4 dogs, things could get a little loud. Which wasn't the case at all. I was really impressed with all the dogs' behavior. Communication and check in with Helen was a breeze. As stated in her posting, there is no public transit in the Hills and no sidewalks. So a car is really necessary up there. I went to a show at the Hollywood Bowl and Helen gave me great suggestions on how to get there, where to park, etc. She even offered the use of a picnic basket.
