If I could have, I would have "cartwheeled" with joy all the way home! If you are an art lover, this is the place you want to lay your head - art all around you, books to indulge and a host that is so in the know, you don't even have to search where to go. Outside sanctuary (not to lessen the inside one), is magical and ever so therapeutic after pounding the pavements of LA. Truly awesome! Was there with my husband and two teenage daughters, who were doubters at first of a shared space, but left wishing we had spent the whole week at Cindy's! I thank you, Cindy, for making the end of our vacation in LA a little bit of nirvana - you truly are the hostess with the most-est! You and your loft ROCK! **** a P.S. to those seeking street art (though it is found all around different neighborhoods in LA) - the Art District is an AWESOME AREA !!! Felt like I fell down the rabbit hole! ;)
