To start I was sandy's second guest and her place is a true gem the location of her place was perfect for anyone visiting and wanting to stay close to the center of the city, the neighborhood was very quiet and pleasant with a string of nice lovely restaurants, her husband greeted me and was very pleasant gave me the tour as well as a bottle of wine and let me know if I needed anything to just ask, they offered a driveway for me to park which definitely came in handy and saved lot of hassle when it comes to looking for parking. This location was 15mins away from universal studios, Hollywood walk of fame, etc and 15 mins in the other direction I got to visit Santa Monica pier and watch the sunset which was enjoyable with nice restaurants and stores, next time I visit L.A. I will definitely be looking to staying here again. Thank you Sandy and Dimitri.
