My brother and I really enjoyed staying in Lily's place - her apartment is very clean, well appointed, and in a great location.
There are plenty of good restaurants locally, as well as a Whole Foods, Target, and Trader Joe's within walking distance. If you have your own car, the apartment is an ideal base from which to explore the greater Los Angeles area.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay in Lily's place again next time we're in LA.
