If you dream of experiencing an artistic, slightly vintage California vibe…. If you’d like to enjoy an organic coffee on the covered back porch overlooking a yard full of lemon trees and roses, or a glass of California white on the front porch watching familiar actors jog by, then this is the rental for you!
Choose to rent the 2 bedroom main house, 1 bedroom separate guest wing with kitchenette or the entire property. All details and rates are below!
HOUSE STYLE: You might not suit our upbeat, artistic home if you are a die hard fan of serious granite surfaces, minimalist modern design and neutral colors. But! if you like a bit of retro and bohemianism thrown in with your clean linens, a fully equipped kitchen with baker’s stove and high speed wireless internet then come on over!
NO STAIRS: The house is all one level and ideal for seniors, the disabled or kids. We'll consider house trained pets. This is a safe, classy yet relaxed neighborhood full of celebrities/families.
AMENITIES: You can expect to find everything you have at home and more. Wi-Fi, Premium satellite HD DIRECT TV with digital recording service. DVD player with many up to the minute Academy screener DVDS. Big fridge, microwave, dishwasher, in house clothes washer and dryer, hairdryer, ironing board, easy and free street parking….. A LAPTOP (mini notebook pc) can be left for you by request.
SPECIAL OFFER : The main house is our LA base, therefore expect to find it like a friend's deep cleaned, vacated place. Some of our personal effects will be here. Think of it as more of a stay with friends where the friends are gone! To enhance the homey vibe we offer you....
FREE BREAKFAST: We will provide healthy breakfast materials to welcome you -- fresh coffee beans, milk (real or soy), cereal, fresh berries and toast! Just let us know preferences when you book!
BEDS: In our opinion, the main house is great for a romantic couple who want space to write/entertain or for 3 people or a small family, but if you're used to a big family you can fit more in....
The master bedroom has a queen bed which sleeps two. The spare bedroom has a comfortable permanently extended queen sofa bed with tempurpedic overlay which sleeps one very comfortably. It can handle a young couple or two children.

THE AREA: We're situated on the gentle slopes before the Hills get steep. Great view from the front porch. Thai town, with great food and great (genuine!) massage is a few minutes below the house on Hollywood Blvd. The house is perfectly situated in a quiet zone – you can easily walk to bus stops if you need, but you still get that green, lush vibe missing in many LA areas. Even if you don't rent a car you can still reach the following with great ease --- supermarket and shops 3 minutes walk --- Los Feliz Village (like an old fashioned US Main Street for a younger crowd) – fifteen minutes walk ---- all the mainstream attractions of Hollywood Blvd, fifteen minutes walk.
It’s just ten minutes over the hill by car or taxi to Universal, Disney or Warner’s. Ten minutes down to Paramount Studios. One mile to the Hollywood Bowl. 25 minutes on the freeway will get you down to the beach. Strike out twenty minutes down through West Hollywood to the sleek attractions of Beverly Hills.
Or just lounge around at home, listen to the fountain trickle in the yard and enjoy free organic oranges and lemons from the tree!
If you’re serious about reserving I will happily answer many more questions for you. The house will be professionally cleaned prior to your arrival and after your departure, this service is non negotiable.
If the house is listed as generally unavailable for rent, it is still worth making an offer a couple of weeks ahead for long weekend stays (Thurs-Tues) as we might use your visit as an incentive to go away for the weekend!
The same goes if you want a really long stay like one month. We may use it as an opportunity to travel.
Look forward to hearing from you!

Hollywood Hills Charmer! Special Deal with Breakfast Included!
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Hollywood
This is the perfect spot to live in LA whether as a professional or a visitor. I bought this house after much thought because Hollywood Hills East is a charming, characterful, leafy young family neighborhood which is located right in the center of the action! You can reach all film studios, The Hollywood Bowl, hiking, restaurants and shopping within minutes. Yes when you're at home, you're totally relaxed with no hectic urban vibe. Six years on my property has kept its value and I know why!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Character, charm, an artistic, bohemian vibe mixed with modern amenities like high speed DSL, premium DIRECTV, and baker's stove. Rare, leafy, large yard and outside 'living room' overlooking a trickling pond surrounded by roses and lemon trees. Inside and outside dining tables, plus a lunch table under the trees. If you like spotting film and TV stars there are five famous ones on this street alone.... Enjoy our collection of up to the minute free DVD screeners from the Academy. Walk down to Franklin Village shops and bars in 2 minutes (that's really hard to find in LA!) Walk up into Griffith Park in five minutes and see where James rebelled without a cause... And.....breakfast!
Home of the Oscars, the Hollywood and Highland Mall and the Renaissance Hotel and Spa
Cafes and shops galore....including Gelsons, dry cleaners, diners, sports bars, bookstores....
Go horseriding across to the valley on a quiet pony trek or choose to go faster! Get off for Mexican food and tie your hoss up outside the restaurant then ride back by moonlight....
Like an old fashioned US main street for a younger crowd. Has every kind of restaurant, store and amenity.

We enjoyed our stay at 1967 Van Ness during the month of August. The house (air conditioned by day and refreshing breezes in the evening) accommodated our extended family (6 adults,2 children aged 2 and a half) comfortably and afforded us the space for privacy when needed. Two spacious bathrooms, two television rooms , two kitchens, quiet corners, a piano and a shaded backyard (complete with dining table, lawn swing and patio furniture) enclosed by tall hedges provided us with opportunities to simultaneously pursue different interests. Starting our day by waking to the beautiful bougainvillea outside our bedroom window was a treat. Lemon. fig and pommela fruit trees furnished breakfast supplements. A fenced in front yard allowed the children to play safely . The proximity (20 minute walk) to hiking paths, to bookstores, entertainment, restaurants, and a grocery store made a vehicle unnecessary. The quiet neighbourhood afforded pleasant walks and the Hollywood hills, minutes from the door step, provided challenging inclines for those who enjoy aerobic workouts.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
The luxurious bed, quiet and historic surroundings and super friendly host was more than I expected!

Arriving to this getaway was a drained, hot, sweaty, irritated local girl, running late from vacating her home in studio city for the dreaded termite tenting experience. Tired and unable to navigate very well, I found my way to a very easy to locate destination. It was late at night, and with my two little canine children, I found myself desperate for the comfort of home. With the stars aligned and my angels looking after me, I landed at the big green house. Dark as space it was, in the foothills of hollywood, but Patrick and Zoe were kind enough to guide me through the backyard oasis and straight away into to my nest. A quick tour of the guest wing of the house and super friendly greeting was the appetizer to a truly sensuous main dish of getaway living. Tired did I mention I was? Yes, I wanted to collapse. So after getting settled, I showered in a spacious terra cotta shower fully stocked with heavenly scented lily white towels, european soaps, and candles, and then slipped into the fanciest, softest yet firm enough bed that had pillows from heaven that offered amazing neck comfort no matter where I turned. Not to mention the aroma therapy floating around the bed, it was a fresh, sweet pea aroma that rose from the linens surrounding my senses. I was probably just exhausted, but I could sware that bed took me by the hand into the ecstasy of neverneverland. I wasn't just escaping a termite tenting ordeal, I was on vacation! the layout of the guest wing is high end euro-ikea design mixed with a hint of shabby chic with a slice of a hotel room vibe. Love the kitchenette, all stainless and new, dishwasher, stove, fridge, new and stylish dish ware, and i found everything to be just really tasteful and thoughtful in what they provide for guests. Its got everything you can imagine needing, even olive oil, a fancy coffee maker, a baking pan and other cooking utensils, robes and even alka seltzer! but it's the bed that will keep me coming back for no reason other than a good nights sleep! Thank you Zoe, it was a truly special four nights, sorry to have it end.

We have three adult children whom we visit in Hollywood from NY. We have previously stayed at hotels in the Hollywood area but chose to rent your home during this last visit. It reminded us of homes we have rented in Europe which ooze charm. It far exceeds a hotel in privacy, convenience of location, flexibility, comfort, and charm. It was as advertised and more. We’ll be back!
Owner response:I am delighted you had a good time! We'll look forward to seeing you next time you want to come to LA...

It was love at first sight. I visit LA often and recently needed a place located in the nicer part of Hollywood (also near hip Silver Lake and charming Los Feliz) that also would be a peaceful oasis - a place that would not only be comfortable, but would be a place we wouldn't even want to leave during a long weekend getaway. Well, we didn't want to leave, period. Located on a quiet street (with speed bumps), this Craftsman home is clean, uncluttered and superbly and tastefully equipped. Parking is free and ample - a rare commodity in LA. But what makes this house truly special are the numerous ways to enjoy the gorgeous grounds - from the front deck overlooking a lush and landscaped yard (fenced); from the outdoor sofa swing beneath lemon trees in the glorious back garden; or looking out on the back garden from the welcome cool shade of the covered back patio (furnished with a large rustic dining table and a low day bed, as well as other comfy chairs and a large, low coffee table). So, whether you're looking for a base for exploring Hollywood and the surrounding areas, or a place to luxuriate while enjoying fresh produce from a nearby farmer's market followed by a movie from the extensive media library, you will be very happy with this gem of a home. Last but certainly not least, Zoe and Patrick could not have been nicer nor easier to work with.
Owner response:Thanks so much guys --- please come back next time you're in town!

We had such a wonderful time staying here! We were a touch nervous coming so far from England for the first time, but I am so glad we went with this house and not a hotel or a flat. First, Zoe is right, it is so close to everything we wanted to see, and whenever we got home there was parking on the street (our friends were down the rd in an apartment and found it so hard to park) The house is bigger than it looks on the pictures and is so relaxing and cosy. The outside back covered porch is so great for being outdoors yet protected from the sun, and we had happy suppers out there. The TV system has so many film channels and the house has films on DVD which were still in the cinema in england! We loved going to see the studios. We found this to be a great deal and well worth the money. Hope to come back!
Owner response:You were wonderful guests who left the place immaculate! Return anytime. Thank you!
