First, we liked Christine's apartment. It is located behind the main house. The location is great and it was really easy for us to drive to different locales, from Pasadena to Malibu. There is a convenient Metro stop about a mile away that we took to go downtown. The neighborhood is quiet and secure.
Our week's visit was during a chilly January. The first two days it rained unusually hard in the city. Given that, the apartment was chilly and both the wall heater and space heater struggled to heat the space. The shower was tepidly warm at best. Those chilly evenings did not dampen our visit to the city of Angels.
