Cynthia ´s place is just wonderful ! The decoration is lovely and she takes good care of every details.
You feel at home!
You can easily cook and eat there if you wish
It is very calm and quiet and the view is great. You really are a walkable distance from restaurants but the appartement is up the hill... so it is not too bad to use the car on the way back!
More over, discovering silver lake is a great option when in LA!
