Great communication and accommodation

The owner was so accommodating with our stay. We took an emergency flight out to LA and she helped us with our stay. The apartments were clean and the staff was great. Our location was awesome. We appreciate the owner working with us! Would stay here again! Thank you

Great location, great price, great place!

My husband and I rented the bottom two units. We stayed in one and our two teenagers stayed in the other. It was just a few short blocks to everything on Hollywood, Sunset and Vine! It is three blocks to the metro station and busses are plentiful. We didn't rent a car; we're big on public transportation; and even took a bus, then subway from LAX to the house. We walked from the Hollywood/Vine station to the house. The units are very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Great hardwood floors, comfortable bed, TV and had a "bungalow" feel. The teenager's unit didn't seem to cool down very well in the heat of the day, but we were gone most afternoons anyway. It was nice that we all had our own space but we felt safe with the girls right next door.

Thank you for offering great tips of using public transport to get around the area, especially when coming from the airport by metro all the way to Hollywood & Vine station with a 5 minute walk to the Property's front door!. So glad you made such good use of your time with us.. looking forward to welcoming you and your family back soon.!

Great place to stay in the heart of Hollywood

My family of five (kids ages 10, 5, and 2) just stayed in the Capital Records unit. It was very nice and offered your basic necessities. It offered enough room to feel comfortable for the five of us. The balcony was very nice to sit outside and enjoy breakfast or a cup of coffee. The shared outside area behind the gate was a nice place for the kids to run around, kick a ball, or play catch. Before arriving, I was a bit nervous of the noise coming from 101 however I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was given it's close proximity to the freeway as well as Hollywood. It's a great location to walk around and sightsee Hollywood....close to Hollywood Blvd, Walk of Fame, Trader Joe's, even a nice walk up into the Hollywood Hills to get a closer look at the sign. The location would suit your needs to explore Hollywood however it's also a very easy location to get around the rest of LA. Our family visited Universal, Knotts Berry Farm, and Six Flags Magic Mountain which all were very easy to get to/from. Overall, a very nice place.

Great location in the heart of Hollywood

This apartment was clean and had beautiful outdoor seating areas. A quick walk or scooter ride took us everywhere nearby, although we did drive as well, to outlying areas. A quick walk took us to the Pantages, UCB, Hollywood and Highland, Second City and other places we visited. A great time was had here, and the apartment was fabulous.

I said that's a Keeper! Thumbs up!!!

Me & my 9yrs old, and grandparents stayed a week in LA. We really enjoyed the this short vacation. It's very easy to get anywhere. We mostly traveled by Metro, just few mins walk down the hill. I cooked most of the time (very close to Traders Joe & few convenience store). Quiet neighborhood but quite safe. Manager was very helpful. Love the fact have Wi-fi. Everything was clean and in order. Would definitely recommend to our friends!

Hello! Thank you so much for your constructive feedback! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and you were willing to share some of your experience with other potential visitors. It's helpful for them to know how you got around, that the metro is easy to use, and most places of interest are either walkable or easy to reach with public transport, if they desire not use a car. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit, and always prepare something special for our return guests. Many thanks once again.

Great stay in the Hollywood Hills!

3 girls staying in this gem of a vacation rental. 5 minute walk to Subway station. Free laundry facilities on-site were very useful. All the beds were comfortable, except for the sofa-bed which was broken when we got there (my friend was still able to sleep on it, but on an angle). We contacted the owner via text but no answer. I am sure the bed is fixed by now. Everything was in order and clean, would definitely recommend staying there, as it is a central Hollywood location.

My Visit

After just coming back from staying three nights, my friends and I, 5 altogether, were very impressed with the apartment. it is nicely decorated and has a lovely feel when you walk in. It's location is good as its near most movie studios and if your lucky you can see the Hollywood sign from down the road as well. There is a quite big shopping area around the apartment so grocery's can be bought when needed. The space is good as we shared our beds but still it still felt quite comfortable and spacious. The manager was also very helpful as we did have a few problems but nothing to do with the apartment. Altough the apartment is very secure, you still have to be very careful especially at night as some of the surrounding streets are quite secluded and we saw a few homeless people. Also, parking is located on the front of the building and is quite steep. We got a parking ticket as part of our car was still slightly on the pavement, even though it was a rainy day and the car could not park fully up, so be careful. Overall, the apartment does make you feel like you are in Hollywood so it was great. Thank You Anna.

What a gem!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Brought our 13-year-old granddaughter and had an amazing week. The apartment is funky, cool, clean, and its location is perfect. We walked to Hollywood Blvd almost every day, and the Metro station is two blocks from here. An unqualified recommendation!

A nice apartment

We have had a wonderful time here. We have seen a lot, but not the half of everything in LA. We liked the apartment a lot, the location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from Hollywood Blvd. If anyone I know will go to LA I will recommend the apartment to them.

About the host

Hosted by Ana Kar

Host profile image
I purchased this property in 2007, to fill a gap in the accommodations that would allow guests coming to L.A. and Hollywood to feel at home and enjoy living like a local whilst visiting all the amazing attractions this city and especially this neightborhood-the best known in the world- has to offer. I worked in the hotel industry for 15 years, and was finally able to develop my own property and run it with quality service and offer a prime location to guests.

Why they chose this property

This property with four 1 and 2 bedroom apartment units offered the perfect Hollywood location for the best known iconic destination in the world. Convenient, walkable and close to all the attractions, yet situated on a quiet hill just off Hollywood boulevard.

What makes this property unique

Each apartment is equipped with all the comforts of your home and benefits of a hotel, yet at a fraction of the price, and is professionally managed with a manager available throughout your stay to assist you. The keyless system, gives you flexibility to arrive anytime, so you have a peace of mind, and no stress or rush for a key exchange. If you don't feel like driving, you still can walk or use public transport to get to any place within the greater L,A. area. The metro station one block away gives you quick access to the west side, to downtown L.A. and Pasadena, as well as the beaches. You can walk to all the main attractions, restaurants, bars, cafes and great live entertainment, including theatres, music venues, jazz clubs and countless festivals. Grocery stores and great shopping are all within a few blocks away. So you are always close to all the great sights yet tucked away in quiet street off of the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame.
