Domitille's place is a wonderful house tucked up in the Franklin Hills neighborhood of LA. The streets are narrow, windy and steep but I got used to them in a day or two. The outdoor space is really wonderful to use, especially in the morning and evening when it is not too hot. The outdoor space is great for hosting people. The kitchen is fine for cooking – the range works well, and there are two ovens and a toaster. The kitchen is well stocked in terms of cooking materials. The place is clean and the interior design is great. Franklin Hills is super quiet all day, too, which is nice.
In terms of places nearby, with Hyperion Ave to the east, Hillhurst Ave to the west and Sunset Blvd to the south, there are plenty of options to grab food and/or drinks nearby. Supermarkets are conveniently located: there is a Gelson's and Trader Joes off of Hyperion.
