Spectacular, spacious location
Great location for access to Hollywood Hills and Secret Steps. Some interesting hairpins on the way up! Accommodation has lots of space and is very comfortable. Huge fridge & 2-ring hob, although limited cooking with microwave and small combi-oven/toaster. Uber Eats will deliver! Need to be reasonably able-bodied to access steps to entrance. I found it a little noisy overnight due to TV/music and (very endearing) dogs on hard floors in other parts of building. Overall a very good stay with helpful and informative residents in other parts of the house.

VRBO meets Spa
Gorgeous and serene. The view of the LA skyline at night framed by Buddhist temple statuary outside is beautiful. Couple little warnings: There are dogs upstairs that pitter-patted around quite a bit, and early Saturday morning, the owner’s landscapers arrived to work.

Perfect stay in the Hollywood Hills
Our son is at Gnomon, a college specializing in animation and computer aided design in the heart of Hollywood. Our stay at this lovely one bedroom apartment high in the hills but only 10 minutes or less from our son was absolutely perfect. We love to hike and less than 200 yards from this place was a trail that led down to the Hollywood reservoir or up to Mulholland drive. The view was lovely, the night air cool and the surroundings tranquil. one couldn't ask for anything more.
