the apartment is fantastic! It is extremely comfortable and the old bar is unique and worth trip in itself. there is plenty of very easy parking. we greatly enjoyed having our coffee each morning out in the succulent gardens. it is a short walk to several excellent coffee shops and restaurants. and, if you want to take a long walk, you can have a beautiful one hour walk right down her side walk amidst gourgeous houses, gardens and views of the hills and downtown. we were here to visit child at occidental college. it is a very easy 5 minute drive to campus (would be about 30minute walk). it was also easy driving over to universal studios and downtown. a great time can be had here.
