One word best describes our stay: perfect! From the moment Shelley welcomed us at the door until we said goodbye. The private guesthouse is impeccable: clean, complete utility kitchen, bathroom, modern appliances, extremely comfortable bed -- I could go on. The garden is large and peaceful with plants, fountains and hummingbirds. We attended our son's graduation at USC and it was very conveniently located. We also found it easy to go west to the coast and to get to other parts of LA. A truly idyllic spot. We stayed there for a week; we could have stayed longer. We highly, highly recommend it.
