A peaceful Tuscan feeling isle amidst the bustle of L.A. - this is the feat Barbara and Mark have achieved in their beautifully appointed backyard carriage house. The patio was perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading/ yoga and moonlight cocktails. The cottage is private and spacious with a comfortable living room/kitchen set up (everything you would need - even the coffee) and a large bedroom and bath. The locale is easily walkable/drivable to happenings in Los Feliz, with nearby groceries going the other direction on Franklin. Head the opposite direction, up the hills behind the house, and one can meander around tiny, curving streets, happen upon one of L.A.'s secret staircases and check out fabulous views of downtown. Griffith park is super close too. Barbara and Mark were accommodating - welcoming us upon arrival and adjusting our arrival time. We've already spread the word about this secret gem to our friends & will definitely be back again. Thanks much for the fab stay!
