This is a very stylish apartment in a great area. It's just a couple of blocks from Melrose Avenue and the pink wall that always has a stream of instagramers taking photos, and only a few minutes drive (or 25 mins walk) from the Grove shopping centre, but it's in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
Shirley was a very welcoming and responsive host.
Parking was no problem. There is plenty of street parking right outside the apartment, and Shirley provides a permit.
After the hustle-bustle of LA this was a great place to come back to.
