After entering The Desmond through the gated subterranean parking garage and leaving your car in the oversized parking space, ride the elevator to the ground floor and walk through the manicured central courtyard to the Southern most door labeled "121." Enter to a bright, high-ceilinged unit, filled with natural light. Head to the kitchen to grab a drink from the stainless steel refrigerator and step out to your expansive 824 SQ FT private wrap-around patio. Once the grill is fired up, join your friends at the outdoor table to take advantage of the California sun. This patio gets sun year-round from morning to late afternoon. On those rare stormy days, take refuge under the covered portion of the patio or light the gas fireplace and kick back and enjoy the built-in entertainment system in the living room. If it's time to get out, grab your keys and exit through one of the several gated entrances toward Santa Monica Blvd, Sunset Blvd, or Melrose Pl.
