A lovely and well-kept apartment in a terrific neighborhood. Claudia and Ben were uncommonly great hosts. During my stay, I was treated to tomatoes from the garden, chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, and the perfect balance of neighborly conversation and privacy. Small apartment issues (i.e. locking myself out of the bathroom) were answered immediately and jovially. I spent many hours in the relaxing porch swing. The funky yet quiet neighborhood is one of the best features - a block and a half from Fix Coffee, a 3 or 4 minute walk from Elysian Park trails... There was a warmth and human scale to the whole experience that isn't always easy to find in L.A. Would strongly recommend.
