I am an Australian musician, living in New York. I had 2 weeks to spend in LA finishing a recording 1.5 years in the making. I must say have spent a lot of time in different hotels while on the road, and generally have lived in a lot of different places during my travels. This is one of the absolute best accommodation experiences I have ever had.
Myself and my wife/bandmate were finishing a recording in Beachwood canyon (just below the Hollywood sign). We needed somewhere nice, not too expensive, convenient, and preferably somewhere that had a good vibe, which is generally very important to come home to when you're working creatively every day.
Travel Artist Diva's place is cosy (not too small though), it's wonderfully lit by natural light, the temperature is always comfortable (I think it's well insulated, I was there in July and never needed more than an overhead fan) and it just has a good feel.
Location is great - I walked to the recording studio in Hollywood each day, and I had plenty of shops, cafes, bars etc all within easy walking distance. On my weekend off I walked ten minutes to the Beverly Theater to see a wonderful old Black and White film - the treasures of the Fairfax district are many-layered and diverse. It's very easy to find something original, creative and fun to do around there and it's not your typical LA neighborhood. This is like Hollywood's ground zero - there's a lot of popular history in those streets.
The place was well stocked, well maintained and I felt right at home the whole time. The weekly cleaning service went over the place top to bottom during my stay, which was great.
I even requested a very late checkout on very short notice (a day before scheduled check out, I asked to leave around 9pm), which was simply no problem at all. Very accommodating.
It was very important to me that we picked the right place to stay while we finished our project - this place was a great investment and contributed hugely to our trip being a roaring success. I would recommend it to anyone in a second!
