We stayed in Donna and Bill's apartment in August 2016. We are 2 adults and one 11-year old. We found the apartment very convenient for our purposes. We visited Six Flags, Universal Studio's, Griffith Observatory, Beverly Hills, Hollywood etc. Distances in LA can be long but the benefit of coming home to a quiet place with ample room, lovely outside space and pool far outweighs this disadvantage. We didn't see much of Donna and Bill because they do what they need to do and also you have your own entrance, so you pretty much feel like you're at home and not staying with people. We would definitely recommend this place.
