Joel and Charlie were warm, attentive hosts during our six months at Palm Tree House—always responsive if we needed advice or help. Joel made a point of accompanying me to the fabulous rooftop pool at the newly built West Hollywood Recreation Center to give me resident access, allowing me to swim outdoors all winter. Such a treat! You can’t beat the location: Beverly Hills, Melrose, and Santa Monica’s best stretch of restaurants and bars are only a few minutes' walk away. This is a gem of a property – an updated period 2-bed, 2-bath – with outdoor space. There’s nothing like it. (And if you’re a VPR fan, you are just 3 minutes from a certain sandwich shop, SUR, and TomTom.) You might even see familiar faces at The Abbey, right around the corner.
