Great location, walkable to Palermo Hollywood and many close-by bars and restaurants, many detailed in the great Host Guidebook. The pool was an amazing respite during the day with an on site cafe. There is an outdoor concert venue nearby and it was blasting the night we arrived, but all was peaceful by bedtime. In addition, the bed is in a glass room so you can close the doors for extra quiet and still get some light in the morning (but also curtains if you want to block it out). The bed was glorious - a firm, comfortable mattress. The kitchen was bare bones- we had to purchase basics like matches to light the stove, sugar, tin foil. Fridge was totally empty. My partner detected a mild musty smell but it didn't bother me at all, (while the apartment is beautifully renovated it is an older building.) We had a hard time finding the entry the first time - Once you find the gate, you have to buzz security and they will let you in, but after that the guards recognized us almost every time
