Top of the World Magical Paradise in Laurel Canyon, Hollywood Hills

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope that our paths cross again❤️

Thank you for the lovely review. It was very nice meeting you Amy❤️

Brian, I'm sorry your stay didn't meet your expectations, and I enjoyed meeting you both. The house was originally built as a 1955 cottage, but it has since grown — with a full second floor and extra bedrooms and bathrooms added — and it has been completely remodeled throughout. I take real pride in its upkeep, from painting and repairs to nearly everything inside: the bedding, curtains, rugs, and furnishings are all new. We do have a high-end, brand-new washer and dryer; it's located just outside the unit, and I'd have gladly shown you had you asked. The pool is serviced by a professional cleaner once a week, so I'm sorry it didn't look clean to you during your stay. I'm also very sorry you felt watched — I almost always live here alone but last minute, a friend was badly in need of help and I opened my home to her during your visit. The back door is usually never opened and no one normally peeks out; that's not the norm here. The style is true to Laurel Canyon's artsy history — eclectic and characterful rather than marble-and-columns luxury — and this is the first time a guest has raised these concerns. I'm glad you could enjoy the view and the lovely outdoor space, and I'd welcome the chance to host you again.
