If you think the pictures and descriptions look fabulous but are concerned about being disappointed, don't be. Michael's place lives up to all expectations--terrific location, fantastic views, comfortable for an intimate hang in the sitting room or on the deck and great for a good night's sleep. And Michael is very responsive, understandably cautious about neighborhood standards concerning noise and activity but quick and reasonable about what is and isn't allowed. I sure hope the house is available next time I'm in LA.
