This apartment is exactly as what is pictured! The decor is eclectic and colorful, and the space is immaculate. Anita is as attentive as you need her to be - never over-bearing. The location is extremely quiet, even during the day and we felt it was very private (for having neighbors on all sides). Street parking was easy to come by, stores are very close and the kitchen is well-stocked with pots/pans/utilities. A huge plus is the washer and dryer. You no longer have to pack like a crazy person ... you have the convenience of doing laundry while abroad. How many hotels can accommodate that?? We were thrilled with our stay. It far exceeded our expectations and would recommend this apartment to any of our close friends or family visiting the LA area.
