Pamela's guest house couldn't have been more perfect for our stay in Los Angeles. My boyfriend and I are both living in NYC and not used to big, bright, spacious homes with high ceilings, having a convenient washer and dryer in the garden, personal parking space and more. Pamela was sweet, responsive and had a useful binder prepared with food recommendations in the area (all of her starred restaurants were amazing) and general guidelines for our stay. It was a bit chilly right after the new year but the living room heater and space heater for the bedroom did the trick. I enjoyed bundling up and reading outside in the backyard in the mornings. If you're having trouble deciding on a neighborhood, Echo Park is great- like the Brooklyn of LA! Right off of Sunset Blvd, it never took that long to get anywhere by car and there are tons of awesome taco places and brunch spots nearby. I would definitely recommend staying here!
