I grew up in L.A. and visit my mom who now lives in a smaller condo that doesn't have the room for my family. Rita's proximity to her condo was ideal, as well as to fun places along Melrose. Rita is the consummate host, making sure one's needs are being met. I witnessed how thoughtful she was with guests coming from out-of-town or out-of-country. The Oasis room was great as its kitchenette allowed us to have food basics for in-between our adventures out. We would definitely return.
