I had a great time staying at Mary's place. She was an excellent host who left great instructions on how to enter if she was not there. The room was spacious and aircon kept it nice and cool overnight. I used earplugs while I was away and had no trouble sleeping. The shared bathroom situation never brought up any hassles and we only bumped into other guests a couple of times (although this may be due in part to jet lag). The location was very close to Hollywood and Vine station so we had no trouble traveling to Santa Monica, Downtown or Universal Studios using the Metro. It was a nice walk up to the main area in Hollywood which was nice too. Great places we went to eat in the area included Miami Burgers, Pie Hole and Blue Palms Brewhouse. Mary also let us store or bags securely because we had a late flight out. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.
