The good: the location and the architecture of the house I found amazing - even though there is a ton of stairs - still the views are amazing and walking to the Hollywood strip wasn't a big deal for our family. The appliances are modern with some cool items like a steam shower. The heating system seemed to work well and cool living room decor. The bad: what we found irritating was faucets not working, bedroom windows that don't close, no hot water in the upstairs bathroom - basically small repairs not being done on such an amazing house. The other frustrating part was the parking. The host provides a small garage to use but we have a truck that wouldn't fit in and had to park next to the house. The problem being other people park there also so the spot was never open after the first day. We ended up parking up the street but that got me a $73 parking ticket. If your car can't fit in the small garage, you are really screwed as you need a parking permit to be on the street after 8:00am
