Colin's place is in a great location. There are many places to eat in walking distance. Our favorite was the Dog Haus just a couple of blocks to the east. There is park and the YMCA to the west. Parking in the garage is convenient since there isn't much street space. Just beware that it is not low to ground car friendly. You will scrape the bottom going and coming. I would definitely stay here again and the space is Amazing. Close to the 101 Hollywood freeway and the grocery store is within 1/2 mile off Magnolia.
