We were pleasantly surprised how tranquil and relaxing Matthew's apartment was. Morning's were bathed in sunlight and having coffee and breakfast out on the deck was a joy overlooking distant downtown LA. We played almost every record over our 3 day stay, a small but eclectic soundtrack that might start the day with Edith Piaf and end with Neil Young or Dylan. The stereo is a nice center piece that makes you forget they have a flat screen right above it.
Only downside was we could hear the upstairs neighbors but with an older LA house, there's never insulation and we got over it. The classic LA charm of the place drowned it out. Felt like living in a Bukowski book.
We would definitely stay again and would also love to rent the upper house if we had a larger group. Seems like a great place to entertain outside and grill area is rather large with outstanding view.
Thanks so much Matthew - Nick & Kim
