Great location with views of the city. Clean and nicely furnished with comfortable beds and a huge DVD collection. Convenient to Hollywood and the valley.
We loved the property and the location. The bathrooms were very well stocked and we did not need a thing. We also had the privilege of meeting Frances who is a delightful person and engaging to speak with. I highly recommend a stay in this location.
True living in the Hollywood Hills experience! The house was well equipped with everything we needed and more. Absolutely stunning views, clean and comfortable beds in both bedrooms. Frances was a wonderful host. 10 out of 10!
Very well maintained and comfortable place in an amazing location, with all the amenities needed as well as heaps of little welcoming touches to make your stay more pleasant. Highly recommended
Make sure to turn around when you pull into the driveway to see the Hollywood sign - what a breathtaking way to start your vacation. This location can't be beat! Couple that with Frances amazing communication, amenities galore and super comfy beds and you have the perfect retreat. Literally 15 minutes from Warner Bros Studio and 10 min from Universal, my daughter and I had a great time. When I am back in LA, I will most definitely stay here again, A
This was a great place with a fun view. Easy walk to a Runyan Canyon trail. Easy drive to Hollywood area and freeway access. Frances was easy to contact and very responsive. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
I highly recommend this serene house in the Hollywood Hills. As a former resident of the area, this is the perfect spot for me to stay when I return to visit friends. The bed was comfortable and I slept very well. It’s extremely private and safe. The most appealing aspect is that it’s within walking distance to Runyon Canyon hiking.
Great location! Frances was responsive with resending email information when we experienced a hiccup with VRBO. We enjoyed morning coffee in the private courtyard.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The property had everything we needed and Frances was very friendly and quick to respond to our inquiries. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay in LA!
We had an excellent stay! The location was wonderful with beautiful views and a short drive to Universal or Hollywood blvd. The house was so cool with awesome decor! My family enjoyed staying there, plenty of room, all the amenities you need and entertainment.
We really enjoyed our stay, the Hollywood Vibe was palpable throughout the property, from framed movie posters to the view, from the driveway, of the actual Hollywood sign in the distance.It was clean and eclectic, colorful and functional, and we all enjoyed it thoroughly.
This place was great! Frances was very communicative and we had everything we needed. Great stay with zero issues. Would stay again next time I am in LA.
Kitchen was equipped for cooking and the space was clean with a Large shower. Parking was available. Was not excited about the mother/Daughter setup. It served its purpose.
Absolutely wonderful stay here! The property is a beautiful, stylish, clean, safe, and comfortable haven in the Hollywood hills. I hope to be back and would recommend it to family and friends. Walking distance (15min) from Runyon Canyon trailhead. The hostess is exceptional as well! One of the highlights during the stay for me was watching hummingbirds in the garden.
Great location and the host was amazing, the property was very clean and well kept. Will definitely come back on next visit to LA. Thank you for a great stay.John - Toronto
The location was convenient to the surrounding area and very clean and welcoming! The space was unique and had all basic needs plus more. The DVD collection was VERY impressive! Cute outside area to relax or have a meal. Easy parking and secure space.
Delightful stay in the hills with a view of the Hollywood sign. Especially convenient if you’re going to a show at the Bowl. Private the cheerful outdoor space.
A peaceful and quiet retreat. The perfect location for writers or creatives. Our host, Frances, was gracious and thoughtful. Attention to every detail was taken into consideration in furnishing and stocking this efficient guest house. The decor is bright and cheery with lovely artwork. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is small but incredibly well organized. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower. Parking is afe and right outside the door. This is a great place for anyone with mobility issues as there are only one or two small steps inside and outside the unit. There is an amazing collection of DVDs and books. You could easily stay occupied here without having to leave for days. There's also a charming, private patio with plenty of seating for relaxing or having your morning coffee outside. Thoughtful additions like an earthquake kit and flashlights were appreciated. It was so peaceful and quiet, we both slept like babies. And, above all, everything was sparkling clean. Highly recommend this jewel in the Hollywood Hills.
