Vesta and her doggy Persia will absolutely provide you with a quiet and peaceful hillside retreat. Tucked away in south Glendale, this property has southern-facing vistas that range from Highland Park all the way to Downtown Los Angeles.
I stayed for a week, and every morning, Vesta had the perfect amount of coffee ready for me, exactly as I had asked for it. The floor that I stayed on was essentially my own. I was able to do my work, come and go as I pleased, and had the luxury of being allowed to have my dog, Fig, with me.
Fig probably enjoyed his stay even more than I did. Vesta and Persia not only opened their house to him, but their hearts as well. In the midst of a move, having a place that Fig could feel safe was really important for me. With Vesta, Fig felt not only safe - he felt like part of the pack. Vesta made a friend for life, and I know he's already looking forward to the next visit!
I highly recommend this place for anyone, honestly. Just check your ego at the door... :-)
