Even better than the pictures, Jooles' home is thoughtfully decorated and the space so organized it feels bigger than it is. The outdoor areas are stunning. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and I am very picky about beds. I was in LA for a quick weekend visit, but other than one social obligation I had for the weekend, I spent the rest of the time relaxing in the outdoor garden areas. I ended up having groceries delivered and chose to stay in the majority of the weekend enjoying this restful home. Friends came over on Saturday night and we enjoyed wine and snacks on the cushioned benches under the pergola. My friends absolutely raved about how adorable this place is. The home and outdoor areas feel very secluded and private. Jooles is an excellent communicator, left detailed info about the place, and was a thoughtful host. I actually can't wait to come back again, especially when I need a trip for some solitude. I can imagine this would be a cozy place for a romantic get away as well.
Be prepared for the steps, the equivalent of about 8 flights, they are no joke. I enjoyed the extra exercise but definitely felt it in my quads and calves. It's the price you pay for the solitude of this place. I had no problem finding street parking, but not being used to LA hills, I'll admit I was a little scared parallel parking on such a steep street. That all being said, if you are considering booking this place, do not hesitate for a second. Book it as soon as you can, you'll love it.
