My partner, 5 lb fur-baby and I stayed at Sam’s charming Bungalow in the Hollywood Hills over New Year’s weekend and we raved about his design skills the entire time. Some people have a genuine gift and true love for interior design - Sam is one of those people. He put a lot of love into this house and it shows. We were also fortunate enough to meet Sam in person, who is incredibly warm and welcoming. He even went above and beyond to bring me a shower cap on New Year’s Eve! That said, the shower is quite narrow and has a “rain-style” head, which is fine unless you don’t want to get your hair wet, so I do suggest bringing a cap. And fellow tall people visiting LA can rejoice, because the bungalow has high ceilings and the tub is long/deep enough for “no bent knees”!!! Woot! I also thoroughly enjoyed his new Nespresso machine (which I LOVED so much I now want to upgrade mine), the bed is super comfy and the internet is perhaps the fastest we’ve ever encountered (new AT&T fiber cable, apparently). The unit comes with a convenient, covered parking space and the overall location is fantastic.
A few things to note… 1) While they are building a massive complex next door, we didn’t hear any construction noise the entire time we were there (it was a holiday weekend) and Sam fully disclosed the situation to me before we finalized our booking. 2) The area is very steep and the walkway to the unit is quite narrow, which wasn’t a problem for us at all, but could be for someone with mobility issues.
Overall we had a phenomenal trip and would love to return on our next trip to LA. Thank you, Sam!
