We highly recommend this property if you’re interested in using Hollywood as a jumping off point for your Los Angeles vacation.
Our only disappointment is that we didn’t have as much down time as we’d hope to relax at the property and enjoy the pool (perfect temperature and surprisingly deep pool). We chose LA for a vacation to see comedy shows and had at least 1 show per night (sometimes more) that we could attend.
It’s a easy 20 minute walk to the start of sites on Hollywood Blvd or $6-8 using a ride sharing service. Parking is available on the street.
Elinor and Sam were great hosts and left us completely alone during our visit. We felt like we had moved into the neighborhood and felt very comfortable coming-and-going without disturbing our hosts.
WiFi was reliable, DirectTV and Netflix were easy to access and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare any food we had bought at the local grocery store.
Elinor & Sam, thanks for arranging for the full paparazzi experience with the helicopters frequently overhead at your neighbors’ Hollywood Hills properties behind you ... it was fun to pretend to shoo them away while swimming! ;)
