Our stay in LA officially started with a huge hug from Ruth, who was a lovely host throughout. The apartment is exactly as described and full of Ruth's good taste and stylish touches. I had stayed at the Beverly Hilton last time when in LA and love the area.

The neighborhood is safe, busy and has developed beyond Rodeo Drive which is great. We particularly loved Canon Drive which has tons of restaurants, bars and shops, all easily accessible from Ruth's apartment in which we would happily stay again.
