Central to everything we wanted to see and do (Griffith Observatory, the Getty, Universal Studios, and La Brea Tar Pits), Polina's guest house feels like a peaceful little getaway in a busy city. The garden is charming, and her pup Teddy is so sweet! Polina was very responsive, even while out of town, and her partner Ryan was equally so, moving cars to create a private parking space for us. Check-in was a breeze, and there was even a basket of fruit and granola bars waiting for us in the kitchen.
