The apartment was very near to all the places we wanted to visit while in LA! Can comfortably guest 3-4 people and we loved the fact that there was a kitchen even though we didn't get to use it. If you want to go shop, there are plenty of good stores along Melrose Ave, La Brea, and Fairfax which are only a $5 Uber ride away. Would definitely come back here if I had the chance!
