Our stay at Lisa's place exceeded our expectations in every way!
Let me start by saying that Los Angeles is a place that we love to visit, but Lisa provided us with a unique, unforgettable experience.
The home itself was really great. The suite was private and more spacious than expected. Highlights included the full kitchen, dining area, huge closet (I hate tripping over my suitcases), and gorgeous bathroom with a double vanity, tub, and curb-less shower (a true 5-star amenity). I wish I could live in this apartment!!
Not only was the indoor space fantastic, the outdoor space was jaw-dropping. The pool deck/patio had TONS of space for seating, outdoor dining, and general lounging. The patio receives beautiful sun during the day, perfect for soaking up the sun while reading a book or enjoying an afternoon drink. Visiting in the LA "winter" meant that we utilized the hot tub frequently. The hot tub and pool are private from the street and neighbors, making you forget you are nestled right in the Hollywood Hills! My favorite part of the outdoor space is that it has its very own "Hollywood" sign above the pool that is lit up at night.
The location cannot be beat. Walking distance from the Hollywood bowl/Hollywood Blvd, and a short lyft to WeHo, SilverLake, Atwater Villiage, and more. Lisa provided awesome recommendations for happy hours and dinners in the area. We followed her recommendations on night finding ourselves on a rooftop bar with a gorgeous view, followed by the best pizza I've had in LA at a lesser-known neighborhood joint.
Finally, Lisa is the sweetest, most passionate host. She took us on morning walks around the neighborhood, and had stories to tell about the unique houses nestled along the streets of the eclectic Hollywood Hills. Sure, every tourist has been to the Hollywood sign, but Lisa took us on a short walk from her house to an overlook that is only known to residents. You could see downtown, the ocean, Lake Hollywood, and more. Experiences like that are the reason to love Airbnbs.
I loved every aspect of our stay at Lisa's, and hope to return one day to visit again.
