The Cool Pad was a wonderful place to stay in L.A.; it is located in a very quiet and peaceful green area in the Hollywood Hills, surrounded by trees and flowers and yet a short distance from stores and everything else. One can take nice long walks up into the hills. Elen, the hostess, knows L.A. very well and is extremely generous with her advice and time. She made us feel very comfortable from the moment we arrived. We immediately became friends.
The apartment is large, light, airy and very well equipped with utensils, linens, etc. It was also immaculate.
I would highly recommend this place as a peaceful haven to stay while in Los Angeles. We plan to stay there whenever we return to the city.
