The weather was super hot when I was in LA, and Allison's place was well able to cope with the heat. Having the deck for working and eating out in the early morning, and evening was completely delightful. The house has everything you need. Allison and her partner Doug next door, were always on hand but never intrusive, and so welcoming and friendly. Great public transport to downtown. And if you like vinyl, their stretch of Sunset is just the place!
