This place is great!

Flat is exactly as it appears in the pics - stylish, simple, well-appointed and totally well-equipped. Kitchen is fantastic and completely kitted out with everything you need to prepare a full on meal - excellent oven and gas cook-top too! Walk-in cupboards mean tonnes of room for your stuff, and suitcases can go right out of sight, so you really feel settled in. Bed is extremely comfortable (on the firm side, this is good for us!). The AC unit really came into its own and we also got plenty of good use from the washer/dryer (note that you need quarters to use them!). The WiFi was totally reliable.

We travelled with our 10-month old baby, and her port-a-crib fit easily into the little study off the living room. This was perfect, as she had her own little room, with a door that closes, and plenty of room for all her things.

We paid a small extra fee for use of the parking spot out the back. Totally worth it.

The location is amazing - great cafes, bars, restaurants on Melrose and La Brea in walking distance. And everything else in LA is easily accessible by car.

Matthew is a great host. Attentive, accommodating and always available if you need him, but otherwise gives you space to do your own thing, just checking in to make sure all is ok.

The apartment was perfect for our two and a half week stay. We strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel like they have their own little pad in the heart of LA.
