Unfortunately Elaine was not able to greet us as she was overseas. Her caretaker Perry was not their to greet us as he is busy renovating another one of Elaine's places. He left us a note to go and pick up the key from the lady across the road. She let us into the house and showed us to our room. We were also shown the kitchen. The place was very convenient to Hollywood Blvd and the street was very quiet. We had no issues with parking our car on the street.
