I spent over a week at Rita's adorable "Oasis Retreat" and it was indeed that! A wonderful retreat from LA city. I ate my breakfast on the sunny patio outside (in January!), loved the super comfortable bed and hung out there to work with my daughter who lives just across the road. Rita was friendly and helpful, and great fun to be with. The location couldn't be better - right in the heart of W. Hollywood, near everything you could possibly need. Rita is indeed a fountain of knowledge about LA and loves to hook people up with other people and things to do. Couldn't be better!
