I took TravelArtist Diva’s Hollywood-Mid-Wilshire-Melrose Apt. for five-and-a-half months in late 2011 and early 2012 (I had an IT consulting contract in town). So this review will be on the long side. My work was located mid-Wilshire. TD’s house was plenty convenient to that. Close enough to walk to work (down Fairfax to Wilshire then west to Crescent Heights) in only about 20 minutes. Actually I realized the apartment was close to work, but far enough away from it so that I could get that invigorating walk to work when I wanted. Othewise, the place is very convenient to L.A.--to other workplaces (such as CBS Studios, Cedars-Sinai), to shopping, to entertainment, etc. Even if you've come to LA to work, as I did, you could wind up taking a good deal of time off—that is, staying home. For that this place has great advantages. It’s central to so much, it makes so many Westside L.A. areas accessible: Hollywood, West Hollywood, Mid-City LA, Beverly Hills, downtown. A perfect location. The closeness of everything from landmarks to a slew of markets and grocery stores makes you feel right at home. You arrive and quickly find everything's within walking distance. Other guests have pointed out it's especially close to a range of showbiz industry acting workshops, film & TV studios, etc. So it's cool if you’re seeking work as an actor, actress, writer. If you're inclined to be in the biz, it's simply very helpful to stay here, short-term or long-term. In my case, just on IT consulting work, I made TD’s place my home for five-and-a-half months. Again, not only the apartment, but the whole surrounding neighborhood. I took advantage of that—the 20 minutes' walk to Wilshire Blvd., with its three Miracle Mile museums--L.A. County Museum (LACMA), the Craft & Folk Art Museum, and the Petersen Automotive Museum (which has its very own embedded version of Johnnie Rockets' ‘50s themed American restaurant). Rockets is just steps away from the Petersen's displays of vehicles old and new, classic and unusual. In fact, the area around the Hollywood-Mid-Wilshire Melrose apt. is so walkable that, my first month there, no slight to Petersen’s, I didn't have a car, because I didn’t need one. And I had no car for the last two months of the stay. Because I just didn't need one. If from time to time I needed one, I could take one from either the Hertz or Enterprise offices nearby--each not more than about six-blocks away. So much of the time, you won't even need transit. But it's there if you really need it. There’s public transit, too. Meantime, there are so many restaurants nearby, including one right down the street from TD's place, Buddha's Belly, one block south; there's even nightlife, the Melrose fashion district (two blocks north), Pink's (you gotta go to Pink's on La Brea for the most shameless weiners and chili fries). Antonios' Mexican food on Melrose is also a classic. So TD’s place is about residential Hollywood, but...
