How long have you lived in West Hollywood? Four-and-a-half years

What do you love most about your neighborhood? That it's quiet. But there are other things, like there are lovely neighborhoods to walk around with your dog and it's safe, too. I don't worry about anything here. Plus there are lovely restaurants and everything is in walking distance. I really lucked out where I am. I didn't realize I moved into such a great area and then years went by and I thought, this is great, I can jog to Runyon Canyon in 10 minutes and there are dog parks. And as a chef, I love that I live around four great grocery stores. And of course I have my resident Coffee Bean.
