This is by far the most perfect place to stay if you are visiting LA. The views from your front door are amazing, especially the view of LA lit up at night in the distance. Because you are up in the hills, it is a nice escape from the busy-ness of the city, yet within 10 minutes you can be in the midst of all the action on Santa Monica Blvd, Sunset Strip, and Hollywood. The drive from the guest house to the coast via Sunset Blvd, is one of the most beautiful drives I have taken. The hosts are terrific and accommodating but definitely give you plenty of privacy. When I return to LA, this is definitely where I want to stay.
