Was visiting family in the west side of LA, but didn't want to be in the city and have to fight traffic. Zen Den was a perfect location! 20 minutes to Santa Monica, 15 minutes to the beach and already in the hills/mountains. The apartment and grounds are beautiful--a true retreat. Loved everything about the place. Cell service is spotty that high up in the canyon, but the apartment offers WiFi (occasionally spotty). Owner lives on the property and is a nice guy, ready and willing to make sure your stay is great. Highly recommend!
