Felicia and John's place is nothing short of perfect. Our family of three had a fantastic time; didn't want to leave. It's got it all: Wonderful location a short stroll from Abbot Kinney (reserve in advance for Gjelina, now our favorite restaurant!), a few blocks from the canals and the beach, and the parking spot was a huge boon. John, such a mensch, was there to welcome us--with very appreciated wine and snacks!--and made himself completely available if needed (wasn't). As everyone says: super comfortable beds, great high quality linens & pillows, everything spotless and well arranged and it's all serene and peaceful. Love the paintings too, by a late friend of theirs. Also--and this you never know till it's too late--every single detail has been thought through. I'd need something and instantly: there it was (scissors? Yep. French press coffee pot? Yes--with scoop. Handsoap, laundry basket, local map...). Quite the lux hotel standard here. (I've been a travel writer/ed on national titles for 25 yrs so I'm VERY picky!)
Don't hesitate to book this one! I just hope we can get in next visit...
Only slight quibble: didn't notice the cleaning fee till too late --$100 feels a bit steep for 2 nights; fine for longer. But hey at least those cleaners are talented.
