My husband, 3 children (ages 10-13), and I stayed at Sallie's on our much anticipated family trip to LA. We originally had a hotel booked for the week, but as our trip came closer I decided to check into renting a house and decided on Sallie's - it was the best decision we made! Sallie could not have been nicer to deal with in the days leading up to our trip, and was so welcoming upon our arrival. The house is located behind a large, locked gate, and once you walk through the gate you feel like you've entered a little oasis! Her guesthouse was a perfect spot for our family and provided so much more space, charm, and relaxation than a hotel ever could have provided. There was plenty of space, it was spotlessly clean, and the decor was warm and inviting. The extra little bedroom was a perfect spot for our youngest and he loved having his own room. Sallie's home is on the same property and she was so accessible for questions. The home is in a very safe and charming area, and we easily walked for groceries and donuts (we are all missing those Yum Yum Donuts!) The location is central to everything we did and getting around was very easy. We had a large vehicle (Suburban) and we easily found street parking on Sallie's block each day. Sallie could not have been nicer and even brought out her tubs of legos from when her son was little for my son to play with! It was so nice to have access to a washer and dryer and made it so much easier to pack for a week-long trip with 3 kids. We were all so sad to leave! If we get back to LA, we definitely want to return to Sallie's Best Guesthouse!
