The apartment was very, very clean and looked like the wonderful pics. Very serene. No matter how hot the day was the minute you step up to the porch at Franks's place it is cooler. Frank and Albert were my best Airbnb host so far because they went way past providing a clean, lovely apartment . They provided 'little' details. Like choice of orange juice, yogurt drink, and water in the refrigerator for the guest. Bottle of wine. Sugar. I didn't realize I needed sugar until I was making my morning cup of coffee! Napkins, paper towels. We didn't get a chance to pick up little supermarket stuff until the day after we arrived so those details were priceless. They pretty much all the cooking utensils you need if you needed to cook. The surroundings are very quiet and serene whether or not you want to meditate. Hot water works! Tub nice size. Bathroom clean, shower great, Towels provided and little soaps! Wifi fast. Tv/cable works! Bed comfortable. I could regulate my own temperature easily. Parking NOT an issue at all! I wanted to be closer to Hollywood area because I needed to do work there daily BUT it truly is not that far to get to! There were many ways to get into LA bc freeways were close. Frank's area is very safe. You don't see folks walking around, people in this area live quietly. It is only a three minute drive to the main road and big supermarket (Super A) and pedestrian and vehicle activity. Frank and Albert were very accessible. Only a phone call away. Albert met my niece and I and showed us all about the apartment. We met Frank a little later. Both very lovely. Although they lived above us we did not see them at all. We had so much privacy. I am trying to cover all the things that occurred to me. I loved this Tropical Studio and these hosts. Affordable! Thank you for those 'little' details! We noticed them and appreciated them. Had a great time in La!
