I had a really nice time at Svetlana's place. The loft is a really quirky beautiful space and the room is super spacious. There was an event at the loft on one of the nights I stayed and Svetlana informed me about it well in advanced and invited me to join in, which was super fun! All the other residents of the loft and extended community who visited while I was there were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The area is much more interesting than other parts of LA I'd visited before.
