You will be fortunate if you can snag a reservation for Javier's. It's spacious and light-filled; the kitchen has enough equipment that you can actually cook in it. It's clear that Javier took care when furnishing and decorating the apartment. There's a front balcony with table and chairs for dining as well as a couple comfy chairs for reading. One shortcoming of this location: you're not going to be able to rely on public transportation; if you have a car, however, a ten minute drive on surface streets will get you to restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and other stores. Conveniently, Javier's is a quarter mile to the 2 freeway, which connects you to the rest of LA's freeway system. That also means you will hear traffic noise when outside but at a level that fades into the background.
