Great Location Brentwood Guesthouse

Easy access to all the major tourist destinations including the beach, Santa Monica Promenade, the Getty Center, Universal Studios, Hollywood and Griffith Park. 5 minute walk to Brentwood Country Mart with great shops, restaurants and coffee shops! PLEASE NOTE UNDER AMENITIES THAT I DO NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. I DO HAVE PLENTY OF FANS AND CROSS BREEZES. The space LOCATION If “location, location, location” is a top priority for you when choosing a place to stay, then this guesthouse is the perfect choice! It’s close to all the hot spots in West Los Angeles and Santa Monica, as well as within easy reach of the major freeways if you want to explore other areas of the city. The guesthouse, which is nestled in a hideaway on one of the neighborhood’s most beautiful, tree-lined streets, is also located only a short walk to a favorite Brentwood hang-out, the Brentwood Country Mart (see more details below). GUESTHOUSE DESCRIPTION A uniquely crafted loft gives this bright, spacious and cheerful guesthouse its homey character while also providing space for additional guests. The comfortable queen-size bed on the bottom floor is great for two people and the sleeping loft with a full-size bed can accommodate two more guests that are at least 18 years and older. The guesthouse also includes a bathroom with a shower; plenty of closet space; a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, gas oven, an over-the-range microwave, a coffee maker, and a toaster; a HD-TV with cable and free WiFi. All linens and towels are provided, as well as beach towels upon request. Two sliding glass doors open out to a large patio with table and chairs enabling guests to enjoy a sunny breakfast or an intimate dinner with just enough light provided by the outdoor lantern. The guesthouse is located on the host’s property, but it has its own separate entry and is completely private. There is one designated parking spot for guests and additional street parking with some restrictions. The host has two incredibly sweet Chocolate Labrador dogs that love everyone they meet, but they are kept completely separate from the guesthouse by a fence. MORE ABOUT GUESTHOUSE LOCATION An extremely attractive feature of this guesthouse is its close proximity to some of the favorite sites Los Angeles has to offer, such as trendy Montana Avenue (Santa Monica's Rodeo Drive); the Santa Monica Promenade, where you can shop, dine or go to the movies; the entertaining Venice Boardwalk; Westwood Village (home to UCLA) and the lively Santa Monica Pier and beach. Depending on traffic, most of these spots can be accessed within about 10-15 minutes by car. There are also bus stops within short walks from the guesthouse for all these destinations and more. Guests will also be delighted to find that it’s only a five minute walk from the guesthouse to the historic and extremely popular Brentwood Country Mart, which offers a variety of dining opportunities and shops, including Diesel books, the "cutting edge" neighborhood bookstore, and the Sweet Rose Creamery, serving homemade – and always in demand - ice cream. Also in this area are Starbucks and other gourmet coffee spots and a bunch of really good restaurants offering everything from Mexican, Italian, & Japanese sushi to Belgium-inspired cuisine and health food. There’s even Maha Yoga -- offering classes for all levels -- if you need a place to unwind. Grocery shopping is close & convenient as well: There's a Whole Foods, a Ralph's and a Bristol Farms all within about a 2-minute drive from the guesthouse, and two different Trader Joe's are about an 8 minute drive away. There's also nearby San Vicente Boulevard, home to many restaurants, specialty coffeehouses and unique boutiques. Not to be missed on Sundays is Brentwood's prized Farmers Market (a short stroll from the guesthouse) featuring excellent local produce straight from the farms, as well as a variety of food and apparel vendors. For bagel lovers, the best bagels in town can be found at the Bagel Nosh in Santa Monica, a short, five--minute drive from the guesthouse. You can get a great bargain breakfast or lunch there, or just get bagels to go if you wish. If you like bagels, you won’t be disappointed! Wonderful museums including the Getty Center, the Skirball Cultural Center and the Armand Hammer Museum are all within a 4-mile radius of the guesthouse. Additional marvelous destinations include Will Rogers State Park, boasting some of the best hiking trails on the westside, or Palisades Park, where scenic views of the ocean and gorgeous sunsets make it an excellent destination for a relaxing stroll or a lovely picnic. CELEBRITY CONNECTION The guesthouse is located in a very beautiful, safe and upscale neighborhood where a sighting of a celebrity or two is not uncommon. Film shoots are also fairly common in this area. In fact, the host’s home is located across the street from the house that was used as Larry David’s home in the HBO hit series, “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” A scene for one of the episodes was filmed at the host’s home and it was used on a regular basis as the lunch site for the cast and crew. Please don't hesitate to ask the host for anything you need or for help with finding places you'd like to go, or for anything else that would help make this a truly happy and memorable vacation! Guest access Completely PRIVATE guesthouse with private entry. Other things to note As noted under “Amenities,” I DO NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING but I do have 4 very effective fans along with cross breezes which help to keep the guesthouse cool and comfortable. And I always remind guests to keep the blinds closed during the day to keep the sun out, which is also a big help on hot days. Registration Details HSR25-002846
