We had our Thanksgiving family gathering at Michelle and Barry's. Five people stayed there cozily and others, who live in L.A., came and went. We arranged in advance to bring our dog, and Barry and Michelle were really generous, leaving treats and a dog bed. The house itself is attractive and beautifully laid out, with a large dining area, well-equipped kitchen, attractive bathroom, and comfortable bedroom. The young people in our group slept on the futon and in a sleeping bag on the floor. Best of all was the patio, with lots of seating and shade, many succulent plants, and attractive lighting. We brought a couple of additional small tables and had our Thanksgiving meal out there. It was perfect for us. In the mornings we had coffee at Cafe Tropicale--GREAT coffee. We ate out one night at Elf--a good place for vegetarians and vegans--and some of us had breakfast at Millie's, which gets a thumbs up all round, though Cafe Tropicale has better coffee. Friendly neighborhood, good for walking dogs and snagging reading material from the neighborhood little library. We have stayed at a lot of Air B & B places in the U.S. and Europe, and this was one of our best experiences of all. Barry and Michelle are friendly and gracious, and this bungalow is a perfect place to stay in Los Angeles.
