I can't or shouldn't recommend Mona's house because then, every time I return to LA, her magical retreat, will not be available to me. But I must. This 1928 Duplex in a true gem. Best vibe. Great living area and bed. Close to everything and yet you get the feeling of having a little house hidden in the hills. It has everything you need to feel at home. The back yard is perfect to hang out under a grapefruit tree. Breakfast there or a nap is a must. Or an evening drink with fresh squeezed grapefruit. On top of that Mona is the best host one can hope for. In my mind, as good as it gets specially for the price.
