Was in L.A. for a quick weekend getaway, by myself. The last thing you really want is to stay somewhere that exudes L.A. Attitude! Well Helens cottage is all the glamour of driving through the winding hills to get there, but once there it's as if you're in small charming country town. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat and especially longer to enjoy the comfort and peaceful quiet of Helens home. Oh and her dog is a real sweetie :)
