Sorina's place is beautiful. It is clean, bright with many windows, and maintained in good condition. The bathroom is very clean and seems like the bathtub was newly put in/remodeled. The kitchen is fully functional; however the stove top and oven seem very old. But they work and we cooked our meals, so that is all that counts. The bedroom is cheery with a large window and the mattress & pillows were extremely comfortable. The only thing we could not find is an extra blanket for the bed, but that is ok because there is a working heater in the apartment, so we just turned up the heat on the weekend we stayed (it was cold and rainy). She also has a bike with a bike lock and helmet which is extremely useful for getting around. Ample parking in back. There is a couch, a few seats and even a small desk for working. The apartment is much more spacious than it appears in photos, and extremely well lit and cheery. There are cute books to read and clean towels and toiletries for use. all in all, a great stay. Just the price is high, but I guess that is the market price for a stay in Los Angeles and so not Sorina's fault. We will recommend this to others to enjoy!
