Overall a great place to stay and conveniently located in the heart of Hollywood.
Pros: Private, tucked away from the busy neighborhood. Free parking pass on the street with simple parking instructions — this is key as the street is hourly & permitted parking. Lots of space to put your things and not feel crowded. The whole place felt like I was back in Joshua Tree. Definitely meant for 2 people maximum. Felt very safe the whole time. Close by to cool spots, including great coffee shops around the corner! Jennifer was great to answer our questions about parking last minute.
Cons: If you arrive after dark there’s zero light to show you the way. It was a little vague which house it was and tey also had all their garbage cans in front of the entry so it was super smelly and awkward each time we walked in and out. Especially after a long, hot LA day… it was a little revolting. The front door to the house needs to be repaired as well. It doesn’t close all the way and the bottom lock doesn’t work.
The place smelled very musty, like there wasn’t proper air flow from the bathroom. Would have also been nice for some login on the Apple TV. If this price point is comparable to hotels in the area, would have been nice to have some additional perks like shampoo or toiletries.
Overall, I think I would have gotten my money’s worth more at a hotel, but it was a nice place to stay for the weekend. I probably wouldn’t stay there again or recommend for anyone looking to stay long term. Also, there’s an event venue around the corner and will play very loud bass music for anyone who’s a light sleeper.
