We had a wonderful experience staying at Mary's apartment. It was extremely comfortable and had every convenience one could want. The patio was beautiful and the building very quiet. The location was convenient --only minutes drive from major arterial streets, the 405 freeway , and Santa Monica and Venice beaches. Also having a dedicated parking place is truly a stellar feature if you have a car in LA.. Mary and also her daughter(who lives in the building) were very gracious and quickly responsive to our queries about the technological features we were not familiar with. We highly recommend this island of sanity in Los Angeles!
