This is not so much as a review as it is a love letter. My partner and I are creatures of habit. We've been together for 14 years. Our travels have taken us to many spectacular locations. The Hotel in Las Vegas, the Avalon in Beverly Hills, Round Hill in Montego Bay in Jamaica (a private seven bedroom estate in a gated community), and One & Only in Cabo San Lucas to name a few. Winston and Neha's property is on par and even surpasses some of our favorite places to stay. As a landscape and floral designer, I'm a stickler for truth in photo advertising. Often times what you see is NOT what you get. Not true in this case. This lovely property as depicted in the photos is smartly decorated. It is chic, simple, comfortable, highly functional, warm, and inviting. The perfect two bedroom two bath LA pied-à-terre is adjacent to the spectacular Hamlet of Los Feliz where our good friends reside. The neighborhood surrounding the property is eclectic. Imagine the opening credits of HBO'S Entourage. That is the feeling you'll have driving to Winston and Neha's property. The grounds are secure and gated with a highly convenient laundry service on site. The apartment itself, although advertised as small, does not feel or function that way. The bedrooms are spacious with king sized beds and beautifully appointed bathrooms, plenty of closet space, mood lighting options, and even a little office space. The kitchenette and living room are loft style but infinitely more comfortable and functional than anything I've experienced in Manhattan. If you are a "home chef" like my partner and I, you'll have a blast with the induction stove top in the kitchenette! You'll find everything you need to prepare a FOOD NETWORK worthy gourmet meal!
The pièce de résistance for us is the room to room climate control. It is an unobtrusive heating and cooling air ionizer. I'm a febreze guy and haven't had to use it once. Bloody brilliant! Lastly, and most importantly, as advertised you do have the place ALL to yourself. There is an outdoor patio towards the back of the property. We've been here three days and haven't seen a soul. As prefaced in my first few words, we love this place! The first place we ever stayed as a couple was the Chamberlain Hotel in West Hollywood. It was perfection. A home away from home. For ten years when travelling to Los Angeles from Greenwich, CT, we stayed there and only there. Only tell people you really like about Winston and Neha's property. We don't want the word to get out there. Shh!
