The apartment was exactly like it appears in the photos and description. It is peaceful, light, and airy. Tucked up near the San Gabriel mountains, it is an easy drive down the 110 to LA proper. Annabelle is a fantastic host, providing info about the area, extra cooking utensils, and artistic advice as needed. I was doing research for two months at the Huntington and this apartment worked beautifully for my extended stay. Added bonus were flocks of green parrots, proximity to hiking trails, and artistic touches inside and outside the apartment.
