This is such a nice little retreat in the Palisades, I really appreciated and enjoyed my stay there. The room is in a lovely garden and is close to everything -- grocery store, drug store, Starbucks, etc. The room has a microwave and a mini-fridge and plastic utensils and napkins -- you should be prepared for the fact that you won't be able to prepare anything beyond a frozen meal, or some fruit and yogurt, and a hot drink in the microwave or the coffee maker. Parking is available on the street -- I never had difficulty finding a place, although you do need a permit for street-parking, which Julia and Patsy provided for a $40 fee that they refunded within minutes of my departure. Julian and Patsy were very responsive whenever I had a question, I don't think I ever waited more than an hour for a response and usually not that long. I highly recommend this place, it was perfect for me. Next time I come to LA I'll try to stay here.
