I think all the positive reviews that came before says it all. Shelli-Ann and her family are warm and welcoming. The guest house is perfect for a couple. Unfortunately for us we were there for 2 weeks during a LA heatwave so we didn't get to do the riverwalk or even walk down to Atwater Village which her Guesthouse is very close to, and where she has many places that she suggests to visit. Shelli-Ann will welcome you with open arms and a wonderful basket filled with just what you need to start the day. She was very kind about having us park the rented SUV in her spot in the driveway especially because it is hard to find street parking. She was always willing to allow us to use her state of the art washer and dryer when we needed, and I appreciate that very much. The guest house is appropriately equipped with all one might need for a short stay. Atwater village is close to Pasadena and Griffith Park, it is a bit of a ride to the beaches but if you don't mind driving on the 405 you can get there in 30 minutes. All in all the village was convenient to where we wanted to be, close to family in North Hollywood, and a very pleasant place to rest after a full day of visiting LA. Thank you Shelli-Ann for making our stay as pleasant as can be.
