Elen's pad was the perfect spot for my recent work / play trip. Perfectly situated, quiet, and clean as the other reviews have mentioned. An easy walk to the Beachwood Cafe and a short drive to Griffith Park, Los Feliz, etc. Elen was a lovely host and even went out of her way to leave some makings for breakfast and a bottle of wine to greet me when she found out that my flight had been delayed until the late evening. Highly recommended.
