Carol's place is really great! Very close to metro, great coffee shops and restaurant atmosphere just a few blocks away, and peaceful, private living space. Even while Carol was out of the country, she was easy to reach and she had her daughter make sure everything in the space was working for us. We walked over to Communal for dinner one evening and thought it was a delightful place for a night out. I would stay here again - such a great base for seeing Los Angeles!
