I loved the look of this apartment from the photos and it is even more beautiful in person! The remodel is brand new and felt very clean and well-kept. The bed and pillows are some of the most of comfortable I've ever felt! I want to find out where she got them! Mic got back to me right away and one I arrived gave me a thorough tour of the apartment to be sure I knew where everything was and how to use it. She even invited me upstairs for a cup of tea if I ever liked, but she was also clear that If I just needed to be alone and have my own space she would respect that. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and it was fairly easy freeway access. The kitchen has everything you need, microwave, small refrigerator, sink, tea kettle, and a single electric burner if needed. I was just visiting for two days on business so I was hardly at the apartment, but I loved it. I actually booked party because of her record player, and I loved unwinding at night and waking up in the morning with records playing. She has a great selection of vintage records. If it matters to you, there is NOT a TV, but it didn't matter to me. There is also a lovely patio with chairs and strung with lights, and the garden area smells lovely like California greenery. My only real concern was that she hosts other people upstairs, and it seemed that the noise of people walking around above me was very pronounced. I'm not used to hearing that where I live, and it seemed louder than some places I have lived, so if you are a light sleeper just bring ear plugs. I used mine and it was no problem. Lovely apartment, and lovely host. So pleased I chose this place!
