Loved this spot! The place is super cozy, nicely decorated, immaculately clean, and Claire was super helpful!
The Neighbourhood: At first we wondered if we should’ve booked in a more bustling neighbourhood, but we quickly came to love the quietness of the area. After touring around DTLA or Silverlake, we loved having a quiet retreat. We walked up to the Beachwood grocery a few times (maybe 10 min) and had lunch at the cafe (which was really good). And you can’t beat the view of the Hollywood sign.
Getting Around: We didn’t have a car for the first few days, but the dash bus (only 50 cents a ride!) is very close and gets you to the metro real quick. Ubers to neighbourhoods not served by the subway was easy and relatively cheap. Our car rental was upgraded from a compact to a SUV, which at first freaked me out since the roads are narrow and parking is tight, but in the end we never had any problem. Parking nearby was surprisingly easy to find.
We had a minor hiccup checking in - the check in code listed under the app check in feature was outdated, BUT Claire had actually given me the proper code in her message a day or two ahead of time, which I hadn’t read closely. So just read your messages! We also ordered some stuff on amazon (things we can’t get back in Canada) and the delivery folks threw it over the gate. But Claire quickly arranged for a neighbour to swing by and get it for us. We kind of felt high maintenance, but Claire kept saying “Let me know if you need anything!” So a super kind, helpful host!
