Staying at Rita’s was such a pleasant experience! My flight arrived way before check in. I reached out to Rita to inform her and she was very accommodating. She sent one of her drivers to meet me at the airport! For a small fee he transported me from the airport to her home, handled my luggage for me and transported me to my appointment in town.
Rita’s home is located in the most ideal part of Melrose. Walking distance to great eateries and minutes from several major boutiques and the infamous shopping center “The Grove.”
I was in town for Los Angeles Fashion Week which consisted of long days and nights. I loved having Rita’s peaceful home to retreat to after the hustle and bustle of the fashion world.
Rita herself is very charming. We spent several hours at her kitchen table engrossed in meaningful conversations about life or just things in general. I very much enjoyed her company and have never had such an engaged and involved host. I was sick off and on with a pretty bad stomach virus the entire time I was there and she was very empathetic towards me.
I stayed close to 10 days at Rita’s and couldn’t find an open laundromat to save my life. While Rita doesn’t normally allow guests to use the washer/dryer on the property, she allowed me to use them in exchange for a $20 donation to her favorite charity.
I found Rita to be delightful and helpful in every way and her home to be a beautiful and impressive location with great amenities for my stay. She was exceptionally hospitable and accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone traveling to LA and wanting a chic home to stay within the Melrose area.
