When I first walked into the compound of the Charlie amongst all the beautiful roses and quietness, I had almost forgotten where I was. Certainly not in the center of Hollywood. I could feel the history here. I was greeted by Menachem who was like a long lost uncle waiting to welcome me. I stayed at the Ruth (named after Ruth Gordon as all the english bungalows are named after the stars who stayed there) and loved to open the front door to the gardens and let the sunlight without any noise, just the fountains and birds below. Menachem let me bring my piano in for my stay and my creativity has been flowing. He is so happy to accomadate whatever he can to make you feel happy and at home. There hasn't been a time that grounds manager Arturo was not there when we needed anythng!
Going back and forth to NY and LA so often, coming into the gates of the Charlie make me feel like I am home safe and sound.
Pros: Home away from home
