Great quiet location to retreat to after being in the smelly chaotic city! Super access to the mountains and route 2. Recommend grabbing a coffee and going up to one of the viewing areas in the mountains to drink it.
Garden needs new furniture and lights, without it there isn't really any space apart from the bed in this wee studio.
Michele's style is eclectic cool, so walls of books and objects from their travels. We liked it.
Check in was a breeze, Michele was travelling while we were there so met her lovely sitter Brigid towards the end if our stay. It really is that private from the main house.
I would recommend this if you enjoy visiting the hustle and bustle of LA but like to retreat to a sanctuary. Particularly if you want to do a lot of exploring, we went from the beach to the mountains and everything inbetween. If you like to stay in the hustle and bustle, this place isn't for you.
We would recommend.
