This is a beautiful apartment - bright, cool, stylish and simple, with so many lovely touches. Right in the heart of Highland Park, at the foot of Mount Washington, just a short walk from cafes and all the action of Figueroa. The place is spotless, everything works, it's all so tastefully decorated. But most of all, the hosts, Marta and Ryan, are just wonderful people, so warm and welcoming, it brightens your day.
I'd rented the place for my elderly parents, so it was important that it was quiet, comfortable and that they could call the hosts if they were having trouble with something. As soon as they arrived they were delighted to see a welcome message on the blackboard, and a complimentary treat for them on the counter. Then one day, they were struggling to get CNN on Apple TV so we called Marta and she came straight over, got the TV working, and happily indulged my parents' questions. They sat and chatted for a while, and by the end, there were hugs all round. That kind of big-hearted hospitality and kindness can't be faked. These are lovely people, they have a gorgeous apartment, and I'll be renting it again for sure, whenever I have guests in town.
