My stay in Linda's beautiful home was absolutely lovely. The space--best described as light-filled, airy and charming--had everything I needed and more than enough space to spread out. The location is stellar, offering central access to all the best of Los Angeles. If hiking is your thing, you're a 10-minute walk from Runyon Canyon, where you can exercise and people watch amongst tourists and locals, fitness enthusiasts and celebrities alike. You're also surrounded by a vast selection of LA's amazing restaurants (Linda has a fantastic "rolodex" of sorts in her home listing her faves), and shopping areas, from The Grove to Melrose Ave, and if you ever feel the urge to explore beyond Hollywood, Uber-X gives you a comfortable, affordable and vastly superior alternative to taxis to access other parts of the city like Santa Monica or Beverly Hills. Linda is incredibly friendly and has tremendous insight into the city and it's many communities. We had great talks!
