Patrick's enthusiasm and welcoming personality were just the start of the great things about this visit. The studio is very well done, cuter than the pictures even. For those of you who love your Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, or cat videos on YouTube (guilty!) there is a Roku along with a beautiful TV. The area is central to everything. A couple of blocks to Hollywood Blvd./walk of fame and the Palladium. It's also super close to Thai Town (and thus has a correspondingly high number of Thai restaurants open into the wee-hours, many of them delivery!). There's also a secured parking space which is super helpful in Hollywood. You can park and walk or Uber to the heart of Hollywood at the Chinese Theater for around $5.

The neighbors blasted banda music until the sun came up, but it was New Year's Eve. The party must have been happening (bring earplugs!).

All in all, great place to stay, seamless communication.
