See that door on the left there? Was the room we stayed in. Temps by 10 pm were in the low 30s, high 20s. Perfect to sit and drink freshly purchased wine in front of the fire.

Where is this, Piob?

Ew.

I was thinking of you when I posted that. I would think even you could relax in front of that fire while sipping wine with your stomach full from a nice dinner and crackle and scent of burning wood.

Where is this, Piob?

Paso, Hotel Cheval.

My bedroom is still under construction, but this is it now.

Technically, I think Silverlake might also not be an actual neighborhood.

What would you even call it?

What's the feel of Malibu Colony Rd? Any of you Cal people ever live there?

How does it compare to anything ritzy that's south of it ( Orange County, San Diego area ).

Or on the East Coast ( Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, etc )
