Perfect hosts + perfect house = perfect stay! We had the most wonderful stay at Michele and Terry’s fabulous home – I’m quite sure a review cannot do it justice. Their delightful home tucked in the Hollywood Hills is an absolute treasure - our favorite Airbnb in the U.S. The house itself is a gem, charmingly decorated in a style reminiscent of the casual charm of Tuscany or Provence, with fabulous art and personal touches that make it warm and inviting. There are windows galore and the sun pours in creating micro vignettes as you move through the rooms – each more charming than the last. The two (two!) patios in the front of the house, on two levels, were a super treat. We sat outside the kitchen each morning and had coffee while we listened to the bird song in the dense foliage surrounding the home. So close to city activities and restaurants and yet when “at home” it felt we were delightfully off in the country. Terry and Michele greeted us warmly on arrival as if we were friends returning for a visit. It was my birthday trip (a big one) and they surprised me with roses, champagne, and a yummy birthday cake – replete with a birthday candle and confetti! The kitchen was well-stocked with treats for us, including breakfast supplies of fresh croissants, yogurt, orange juice, coffee beans. We elected to sleep in the “guest room” upstairs because I preferred the stunning tree-full hillside view to the city view in the master and there was something about the room that felt so cozy to me. I also fell in love with the little colored paper hearts that hang over the bed. Perhaps it spoke to my inner 14-year old. The master does have a television, but we were happy to fall asleep each night without it. The bed and linens were fabulous and the neighborhood supremely quiet – perfect for a good night’s sleep. As if this all wasn’t enough to make a visitor feel blessed, Terry and Michele themselves were such interesting, warm, delightful people – my only regret is that our weekend trip flew by too quickly and we didn’t have more time to crack a bottle of wine with them and get to know them better. This, however, can be remedied with a future visit and I am already busy making plans. Thank you, Michele and Terry!!
