We were sorry to have to leave Gillan's place in Montrose after 6 days visiting family and sights around the area and LA.
It suited us perfectly, both in terms of location and the studio itself. The apartment is really convenient for the freeway and it's easy to get around to local places like Descanso gardens, the Huntingdon, Glendale, Silverlake/Echo Park, downtown and Hollywood as well as further out to the beach. But it's also really close to all the shops and places to eat in Montrose. We really appreciated being 10 minutes walk from shopping at Trader Joes, coffee and breakfast at Toasted, and all the other great places like Lost Books (Once Upon A Time is also a great bookshop for all ages although it's the oldest children's bookshop in America).
The apartment itself was a great place to stay for five days , well equipped for making breakfast and dinners, and a comfortable place to provide some down time inside and outside in the peaceful yard with the bees on the rosemary bushes.
Gillan was really helpful and responded immediately when any issue arose.
This will definitely be a great place when we come back for future family visits.
