We loved this location. We saw a hummingbird in the back yard and a coyote walking up the street. Pretty good nature given we were in LA. We walked to the Hollywood sign, too, which was great. We also walked to Warner Brothers Studio and to Universal Studios. These walks took over an hour, but they’re through the Hollywood Hills, so they’re very scenic. LA is not set up for foot traffic, however, and the path ran out just before Universal Studios which took us by surprise. We had to them loop across a freeway (added another ten minutes) but were still able to make it. Being able to walk to the theme parks with the kids was a good re-set each morning after all the stimulation! Both studios are fanstastic. Don’t think about walking back tho – it’s all uphill. The apartment itself is amazing. We slept really well in the large comfortable beds. And the kids loved the electronic drum kit. Only down side is the kitchen which is small and which takes a bit of moving of stuff around to cook (we didn’t turn on the BBQ – which is available). But once you’re done, eating out of the deck under the Hollywood sign is awesome.
