The house is a a hidden gem in the cutest neighborhood! The renovations were well done and the furnishings are very comfortable. We felt immediately at home as soon as we walked through the door. Extremely clean and well appointed. The kitchen was not lacking for anything we needed while there for four nights. Pictures are an accurate representation of the home. A ping pong table was added that is not in the pictures.
The neighborhood is great for walking if you want a serious cardio workout. I can't, in words or even photos, convey how steep some of the the streets in the neighborhood are. The evening we arrived, we paused at the top of the street and thought it couldn't possibly be right - it appears you are about to drive off a cliff. After a couple times, you get used to it and trust your car isn't going to start flipping end over end to the bottom! Lots of hidden staircases connecting the streets - we had a great time exploring. It's a short (but strenuous) walk to the Baxter Steps and Elysian Park, where from the various hilltops there, you have great views of downtown in one direction, and Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory in the other.
While you feel tucked away, you are only minutes from tons of great restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops. A couple within walking distance if you are up for tackling the hills on foot.
The neighbors do have a small dog that would bark at times, it was never for prolonged periods and not at night or super early in the morning. This is clearly not the host's fault and, as pet owners ourselves, we did not find it bothersome. Just a warning to those who might be super sensitive to this.
Overall, a fantastic place and we would absolutely stay again.
