I just lived there for the last three years... it's kept pretty tidy,
and there is an award-winning bike shop on the ground floor.
We had a great view of the Hollywood Hills from Sunset Strip to downtown.

It's said that it was built in 1926 as a hotel for the LA Country Club, but
other history suggests that the Country Club had already moved to Beverly Hills by 1909.

It's the only "prosperous-looking" block on that stretch of Pico
(ie, no trash, graffitti, no chained-up storefronts)
