My parents visited me a 2nd time here in L.A. during May, 2013, staying at TD’s Hollywood-Melrose-Mid-Wilshire apt. This time was even better than the first. The hosts were cool, very plugged into email, the web. They’d newly equipped the place with some very robust Wi-Fi. And new air conditioning. Host offered to take my folks to airport - which was really appreciated. When it came to cleaning, the hosts again arranged for a very fast, skilled maid to leave the place immaculate, without inconveniencing us at all. They were just as capable when the washing machine broke halfway into our stay—they attacked the problem head-on within minutes of our mentioning it, and the appliance was operational within about a day. As before, my parents and I liked going to the nearby Grove shopping center and the Farmer’s Market, only about five-blocks' walk away. Also tried BLD, at Vista and Beverly (three blocks’ walk away). My parents also took in new sites within about five minutes’ drive such as the La Brea Tar Pits, the L.A. County Museum of Art, and the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Since this apartment lies in both a coastal and elevated area of L.A., conditions were very comfortable. The outdoor area especially, accommodating four or more people for dining. We did wish for a larger teapot--the one provided was single-user, since our hosts have promised a larger one for next time. And, as before, the apartment and our hosts managed to prove themselves totally fitting and convenient. We definitely plan on staying there again when we visit next year!
