Vacationed in the Hollywood Hills with my wife and two daughters, and we wanted a great view. There’s no way to overstate what a great choice we made.
Jay is a fantastic host, and absolutely determined to meet all needs. She is communicative, proactive, and she keeps a spotless home away from home.
This is a classic Hollywoodland home with two roomy bedrooms, two baths, kitchen, den and sitting room with amazing original brickwork in the fireplace. But the star of the the show is the balcony. We had all our meals outside, and we found ourselves pulled to the balcony at awaking and right before retiring. The view is a full 180 degrees. Behind you is the Hollywood sign. We never caught a better look at it anywhere else in all our tours than from our own balcony. Pan around and see dozens of diverse classic Hollywood homes, and in the middle of the view is the Griffith Observatory atop the adjoining hill. Mature orange and lemon trees are growing right alongside the balcony. Then opposite the Hollywood sign is downtown LA. Spectacular view from the lights of Dodger Stadium on your left, to the east end of Hollywood on the right. This view is also prominent outside the large corner window in the kitchen, and from the sliding glass doors of the master bedroom and sitting room.
We didn’t park, but there always seemed to be ample spaces outside. We used Uber everywhere. It’s a six dollar ride down to the Chinese Theater. From there multiple open bus tours are available to all parts of the city.
There are a number of classic features inside the home, but important upgrades as well. The central A/C unit is brand new, the kitchen appliances are excellent, and the walk-in shower is good. The wood floors are beautiful. I can’t think of any downsides to mention. There are more expensively furnished homes, but the view was worth far more than that for us. The pictures are true the inside of the home, but they can’t do justice to what you see outside.
