We stayed at Isabel's place from 8th to the 14th October 2017. And what a great stay it was! We didn't want to stay in the centre of LA so picked Isabel's because of the outstanding views of the Hollywood sign and the quiet location. We were not disappointed!
We arrived whilst Isabel was away, but the communication and instructions on how to get in were easy to understand and straightforward (and probably better that way as we were still recovering from our 11 hour flight!) The place was spotless and there were bottles of water, and snacks available in the little kitchenette bit which was a nice touch. Isabel gave us our privacy but was always at hand if we needed anything.
We didn't spend an awful lot of time at the room as we were busy out and about, but it was the perfect little cozy place to come back to after all the hustle and bustle of LA! Super comfy bed, amazing shower, chic and uncomplicated which was just perfect for us! We used Ubers to get around most of the time which you didnt have to wait long for and we even ordered takeout one night which made it feel even more like home! There is an amazing walk you can do right up to Griffith Observatory which takes about 45min to an hour. You walk all through the neighbourhood and then you reach the forest walkway up into the hills that leads right to the Observatory. At night it is absolutely breathtaking. Would definitely recommend it!
The internet didn't work for all of the stay but we didn't mind at all because we had our cell phones. But if you needed wifi for your stay I would definitely make Isabel aware in advance as it can be temperamental. In addition just also be aware that the studio doesn't have curtains or blinds, which again, we didn't mind at all, (the views are stunning!) but if you did want more privacy just keep that in mind. (We did have the odd gardener walk past the room but thats about it! - this was about midday though) At night it is incredibly quiet and peaceful, you can even sleep with the door open!
All in all we had a fantastic stay and the best part about it was Isabel's Golden Retriever Paige who came in to visit us on the last day! She is super adorable and will lick you to death! If you like dogs then you will absolutely love her!
Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone! :D
