We arrived late after a delayed flight, bundled our luggage and two travel-weary kiddos into a rental car and got to Coolpad well after midnight. Elen was waiting for us in the driveway with a sign that said "Welcome Home." When we walked in the door we found a bottle of wine, a fridge stocked with eggs and milk, bread and coffee in the pantry and a sweet, quaint apartment full of vintage charm and freshly made beds. Oh, and a beautifully appointed CRIB, pack n' play, highchair (our younger daughter was not quite 6 months old when we arrived). Elen had made our five year old a little nook in the living room complete with a cozy bed, some toys and books. Our stay was lengthy, as I was in LA for work and all I can say is that it was a complete joy to have such a warm and inviting place to call home while we were in town. We often walked up to the Beachwood Cafe or strolled the neighborhood with our kids, the playground up in the Hollywood hills was awesome and is only a 6 minute drive away and we had our pick of Trader Joe's or Gelson's for groceries, both of which were minutes from the house. Our hosts often left baked goods or fresh flowers on our doorstep and anything we needed or asked for was provided. We can't recommend this place or Elen & Michael enough!
