Area is awesome, lots of stuff to do and see at all times of the night or day.. take a drive on laurel canyon blvd or thru Sherman oaks for some nice sight seeing and views. (Or rent a lambo and drive up mulholland) Lots of restaurants in the area, about a 20 minute commute to Venice/santa Monica. Alex and Rafael are super friendly and caring hosts, they made sure my stay was as pleasurable as can be
