We have stayed in MANY places over different countries--this is among the very best. David is, simply, a caring, terrific host, and this apartment is a wonderful place in so many ways. Communication was quick and friendly; check-in was a breeze, with autonomous check-in. The apartment is in a beautiful building, furnished and designed for modern comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. The apartment is spotless; everything is high quality, with a modern look that promotes a spacious feel. There is EVERYTHING a guest could need and more: very comfy bed & pillows (we stayed in a a 5-stars in London just before LA, I can assure you that this bed was way above the confort standards), with very clean and high-quality bedding; plenty of big, clean towels; bathroom offers a wonderful SPA experience with a jacuzzi and tropical walls, ample dressing and shelf space; beautiful kitchen area with all the appliances and cookware you could want and lots of dishes and glassware. While the front of the apartment faces the street, this is not a huge thoroughfare, so it is relatively quiet. The neighborhood felt completely safe and there are many restaurants, bakeries, etc. Super close to everything you need as a first visitor to LA: Hollywood, Santa Monica, Walk of Fame...within easy walking or taxi/Uber distance ( it is also easy to have food delivered). it's easy to get around and easy to get to all the other LA places you might want to go. Thank-you David--we'll be back!
