Where Kate and William will be staying in Los Angeles

I did a lot of sleuthing this afternoon to find out exactly where Kate and William will be staying -- I wanted the precise address so I could definitively locate it on Google Earth. One of the photos on the Internet showed a close-up of the front door, with a legible street address. I knew from my sleuthing that the house was located right around the intersection of S. June Street and W. 6th Street, so I plugged in "450 S. June Street" and voila!
This is the home of the British Consul, located in the old Hancock Park neighborhood of LA. (Looks like any old Miami neighborhood.)  Lots of good photos of the house and grounds here.
 Above are homes along Alhambra Circle in Coral Gables, between Sevilla Ave. and Bird Rd. (backing up to the Biltmore Golf Course). (Note the distorted lamp post in the second photo.) When I was in high school - years ago - they were both occupied by dairy families. The homes still look the same now as they did back then. We lived not far away, on Country Club Prado. (Below is a house on Country Club Prado, known for its wide, pastoral parkway and live oaks.)
This shot from Google Earth shows Country Club Prado from the air, at its intersection with Coral Way, the main drag in Coral Gables. (My old family home is located somewhere in this shot, but of course I won't say where exactly.)
