The apartment is exactly as photographed in the pictures Matthew has provided and is tastefully decorated. I didn't get a chance to explore the neighbourhood too extensively, but the apt is super close to both Santa Monica Blvd and Melrose which both have amazing shopping and restaurant options.

On the second day of my stay my key snapped in the lock and Matthew was extremely helpful and able to solve the issue within an appropriate amount of time considering he wasn't in the city. His efforts were greatly appreciated.
