Bianca's place is an old Craftsman bungalow with a relaxed, bohemian vibe, furnished with a wealth of distinctive 20th century pieces, artwork, and nice smattering of art books. There's a pleasant balcony with views stretching from downtown to Century City. The apartment is air conditioned, but I rarely needed it, since there's almost always a cool breeze blowing in the evening. Easy on street parking and a short walk to restaurants and shops on Sunset (as long as you like walking uphill as well as down). Bianca herself was a very accommodating host, always helpful and quick to respond.
