Elen's place was beautiful and charming-- they've kept/ rejuvenated the apartment's old hollywood feel without letting it get run down at all or giving it a too new-impersonal feel. The place is spacious, homey, clean quiet and comfortable. It's in a beautiful and convenient neighborhood full of cool history architecture and trees. You can walk up the street to a little cafe and great market, or drive anywhere else in minutes. Elen provided everything that a host possibly could so there was no need to ask for anything, but you get the feeling that if there was a need she would be all too willing to help. Her and her friend Michael are great and interesting people and I wish I got to talk to them more- I feel like I have a regular place to stay in LA now, thanks for everything guys!
