Joe's place was just like the pictures, in fact even better. Complimentary water, wine, and mini bar made for a pleasant surprise upon check in. The private deck space was perfect for evening cocktails and morning coffees, sunsets, and afternoon sunbathing. I loved their neighborhood because I'm used to being able to walk to shops, restaurants, and bars, and within 10 minutes and down a few flights of stairs that was what I found. I had the lovely pleasure of meeting one of their beauitful dogs Mia who was such a love. It was also so nice to be able to invite some of my friends who live in the area over to the house to enjoy the view over a glass of wine. Joe was a great host as he encouraged me to feel right at home and use whatever I needed on my side of the deck and theirs. He checked in throughout my stay to make sure I had everything I needed. The apartment came stocked with coffee, sparkling water, and even extra toiletries Incase I forgot anything( which I did and thier little hair dryer saved the day) and a hotel style safe for important documents. The bed was super comfy and I really felt like I was in my own little apartment. I can't wait to come back and stay here the next time I come to LA. Highly recommend it!
