Great stay! What a beautiful place! Shida, the host, was wonderful and communicative. The property itself is like a mountain retreat. I was very zenned during my stay here. Drive-up to the get to the place is twisty and has narrow roads - it was not a problem for us but a heads up to people booking the place.

Wonderful stay

I can't rate this stay highly enough. A stunning location and an exceptionally welcoming host. Beautiful view over LA and the immediately surrounding canyons. Lots of places to sit comfortably outside and relax, whether looking over the canyons or over the large, heated pool. Perfect stay.

Relaxing private retreat.

Our stay was wonderful. Shida was a welcoming host and the property was beautiful. "Top of the world" is the perfect description for this hideaway at the top of Laurel Canyon. It's the perfect place to unwind and relax.
