Ellie's place was the perfect base for us. One of our party was attending a program at UCLA, and another was taking a class on La Cienaga. Ellie's place was 10 minutes from each. It's close to everything but feels like a retreat away from the traffic and noise of West Hollywood. Westwood village is close by for dinner options and the Beverly Hills Hotel is around the corner. Parking on the driveway is very convenient as you cannot street park without a permit. Sugar the Labrador is an absolute sweetheart. The property feels very safe. Laundry facilities were also very helpful for a week long stay. Inside is very modern and has everything you need - coffee maker, iron and hairdryer. Wifi service was excellent, also. We'll be back!
