If you're looking for a special place to feel LA in full - it's here.
Not only Robert is following good traditions of hosting guests in person, he's also built very stylish apartments. The whole stay there we felt ourselves relaxed like we're at home. I think it's mostly because of the lights and colours + the library. A very calm atmosphere. Also, it's a top floor with astonishing views where you can even find a "Hollywood" sign. On the roof deck, there's just a great place to see a sunrise/sunset and take a breath of fresh air.
Everything is close to the apartments, including grocery stores etc.
Thanks for bonus snacks too, it's always very cool to have such backup in case you're checking in late.
I would suggest this place for everyone who's meeting LA, especially for the first time!
