It's hard to add to the enthusiasm already expressed about this place, but once you stay here you just have to gush. Everything about it is wonderful-the apartment, the succulents, Maiana, Punky, Grey Grey, Changu, little Manu. My only regret is that I was in LA for work so I didn't get a chance to enjoy the place as much as I wanted to. I'll need to come back to enjoy the fire pit. Anyways, everything you read is true and more. If you are here for work and work is downtown, then it's only a 10 minute commute--very dreamy for LA. I read in the guest book that someone proposed here--it's that good!
