We read the reviews and booked the Secret Garden directly with the owners. As we had never been to Los Angeles we didn't know what to expect. We knew it would be busy, but not were not prepared for the sheer volume of traffic both day and night. The Secret Garden was like an oasis, 3.5 miles from the walk... more

Our 1st visit was great so we booked it again. That visit was great too so we've booked it again. Free parking,breakfast ,intriguingly furnished home and David is a terrific host. We couldn't ask for more. more

We were in the cottage and loved it all - but I am not going to wax too lyrical about this exceptionally delightful B+B. It might lead to over-booking booking during the periods I want to get to Los Angeles next . However I will say that the Secret Garden plus Michael, Sylvester and David's relaxed, unintrusive, quiet hosptitality will... more

The Secret Garden is certainly different (in a nice way)! It's like staying at someone's - rather bohemian - house, but the owner keeps out of the way, and just shows up to cook breakfast for you. The garden is delightful (again, a bit bohemian) - a shady oasis with several small sitting areas. We were in a (wedding) party... more

This was my first stay at The Secret Garden and it certainly won't be my last. My wife and I were planning a romantic getaway and since she'd previously stayed at The Secret Garden, she recommended we book the cottage here for the weekend while still have all the amenities of home. This bed and breakfast is cozily amazing, located... more

This was my second stay at The Secret Garden this year and it certainly won't be my last. During this visit I was celebrating my anniversary and it was the first visit to this bed & breakfast for my husband. He was equally as enchanted with this fabulously located and eclectically decorated hideaway as I. Comparable lodging in the area... more

reading the review below, I only really have this to add: stay there if you like: quiet, homely accommodation hosts with personality breakfast that tastes ruddy sweet fantastic locations hollywood atmospheres stuff that is perfectly fine and working but hasnt been thrown out because it was made more than two years ago (the planet is dying remember, oh sorry that... more

Price upped, eggs and toast and watrered down farmers coffee? Dirty but Very comfortable. Wonderfully light, smells like cats out in garden and inside. Walking distance to chateau marmont and the strip. Surprisingly quite for middle of HW. Should be represented as a motel, not a B&B. Beautiful charming house with tons of old antiques. Maybe if Raymond was still... more

After a long trip through California filled with hotels ranging from horrible to decent, the Secret Garden was a wonderful luxury. Where to begin? The property is gorgeous, with beautiful gardens and an aviary. The location is in a residential neighborhood in close proximity to shops in West Hollywood (walking distance). Parking was never an issue. It was free and... more
