Can't believe I lucked out and found this absolute gem! Not only was Anda *super* nice, and responsive, and organized, and welcoming, but also her space is SO sweet and practical! I loved the location, which had easy access to the Valley/North Hollywood, as well as west Hollywood and East L.A. (Silverlake, Los Feliz, Echo Park, Highland Park..), close to the highway (4 min drive), but in a very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. There aren't any shops/restaurants within walking distance, but hey- it's LA, so you probably have a car, right? And if you do have a car, there is convenient parking right in front. AND if you don't want to eat out all the time, there was a very well organized little kitchenette with fridge and toaster oven for some simple meals. The space was very clean (I'm a neat-freak and wiped things down when I got there and can tell you it was spotless), and had all these thoughtful little touches. It kept very cool (in the middle of August, I practically didn't even need to turn the AC on, though it was very functional and quick to cool down on the days I did use it!)
I can't recommend this space enough, though I fear it'll make it completely sell out next time I visit L.A.! Thank you so much, Anda!!
