This house is perfectly located in the center of Los Angeles, convenient to everything (Bevery Hills, shopping, Hollywood, Studio City, the zoo, and not far from the beaches if you head down the 10). It's a quick walk in the morning to get a cup of coffee or dinner at some great restaurants. Michael was helpful and available. The home is clean, relaxing and much roomier than it appeared in pictures. We really enjoyed sitting on the front patio in this cute, safe, and quiet neighborhood! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

You can't beat this location. Everywhere I wanted to go was within arms reach (Hollywood, Larchmont, Beverly Hills, etc.). Amazing location for shopping nearby on Melrose, Beverly, 3rd and La Brea at the city's best boutiques. Fabulous restaurants too. This would be a great place to start if you've never been to LA before, and it's a great place to return to if you're a veteran like me. The home is very comfortable, very clean, and very relaxing. Although you are close to "the action" the house is a calm oasis. Loved sitting on the front patio. Very nice bathroom. Kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook and is easy to navigate. Michael has made every effort to make this place as inviting as possible for guests and it pays off! Would return in a heartbeat.

My time in los angeles was perfect!!! When i arrived to the house michael was there to let me in and showed me around. There is not anything else you could ask for in a house! It felt more like a home. It's ALOT bigger than what it looks like in the pictures. Michael was very helpful and answered an questions i had when i was there via text. Very nice and friendly person. I will most definately stay here again everything you need is local and i often walked to most places. Even on my departure he let me leave later than the check out. Perfect location, home and vaction! Thanks again Michael! :)

Great location, lots of convenience stores, shops, restaurants near by and the tour bus we had booked had a stop which was a 10 min stroll away on Melrose. The house was very well equipped - everything in the kitchen you would need. We were a party of 4 adults and felt there was plenty of space. Michael was away while we were renting the house but left a number of someone who could help if we needed it - which we didnt as all ran smoothly. Refund of deposit received the day after we left, emails to Michael were always answered swiftly. Would recommend to friends!

We stayed here Sept. 2010. Our son lives 5 blocks away. The home was immaculate. Kitchen fully stocked. Great washer and dryer, dishwasher too. Beautifully decorated. We enjoyed our breakfast on the front porch and got a kick out of the the humming birds. Have never seen one in Chicago. Lovely neighborhood, convenient to everything. This was better than any hotel. We can now say that we like L.A. because of our great experience staying here. We would recommend this home to our family and friends. Hopefully we will stay here again. Michael was always available when needed. He delivered as promised!

This is a great location in LA, two blocks from Melrose Ave and in between Fairfax and La Brea. Close to The Grove shopping area, Trader Joes, Whole Foods and of course, the restaurants and boutiques along Melrose. The house is perfect for a couple or small family. Its clean, has all of the amenities that are needed for a vacation getaway or work. Great value for the price.

You couldn't ask for a better place to stay in LA! The location is perfect, within easy walking distance of Melrose with lots of stores and restaurants and easy driving distance to all the main LA spots. The house is beautifully decorated and immaculate but still very comfortable. Everything you need is provided; towels, basic food supplies, mini toiletries. It really is a home away from a home. Our favorite part of the stay is the front garden where you can start your day eating breakfast outside in the sunshine...its so lovely you may discover that you're still there at lunch and dinnertime too! Its the perfect place to relax in LA and you won't want to stay anywhere else once you've stayed here. The price is great value and the owner is helpful and responsive. I will definitely be staying here on my next trip.

We stayed for 6 nights in July 2010. The house is clean, comfortable, and competetively priced. The kitchen is fully stocked and laundry is available. The location is wonderful with Melrose one block away. The owner is responsive and available. Parking on the street is a minor challenge. I'd recommend this to friends and family.

Owner response:Thanks for your review and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. For those future visitors, off street parking can often be arranged, but must be arranged in advance.
