We had a great time in L.A., in large part because of where we stayed for our 2 week visit. Lacy's apartment perched in the hills above Silver Lake Blvd. provides a great view from a wonderful location - lovely homes, beautiful trees, flowers and ,plants growing everywhere, hidden stairways, and meandering streets leading to many excellent restaurants, coffee shops and stores. The apartment was comfortable, tastefully and thoughtfully decorated with a good bed and linens, excellent TV, and small but efficient kitchen. The two outdoor terraces with tables and chairs amidst the many pots of roses, cacti and other interesting plants was a big plus. Lacy was a very good host - responsive and helpful. We would definitely return to his apartment when we next visit L.A . Hightly recommeneed.
