This is certainly a unique stay in terms of the location and interior - a chance to stay in the Hollywood hills is something I really wanted to explore hence stumbling on this listing. We did have a good stay in the end, there were a couple of downfalls but overall we had a good experience.
Cons - Steep stairs to the entrance and steep climb into the shower, my father is blind so accessibility is important to us and this was tough at times. I think this could be highlighted more in the listing, however when I looked back it did say about the stairs so I can't have many complaints. Just didn't realise how steep they'd be! There was a distinct smell when we entered the property that wasn't very appealing and there were elements that didn't feel super clean (sofas, floors had some crumbs), which is why our first impressions weren't amazing despite the large space and we were concerned for the rest of our stay. The final piece is the windows - they do not all shut tight and are very old, the left window in the master bedroom particularly let multiple spiders and bugs in through the first night. We ended up improvising with a chopstick and a bobble!
Pros - It is a spacious place, in a good location (though recommend if walking into Hollywood, go right at the end of the road and walk a bit further instead of going up and left!!). The kitchen was fully equipped which is great as we came off the back of lots of junk food eating so was nice to cook for ourselves. There aren't many "trays" for food though FYI. The fridge/freezer was really good with an ice dispenser too. The main TV is massive which is a bonus, the interior was quirky but cool, the beds were very comfy, and Kevin allowed us to have a late check out, which we really appreciated because our transfer was at 1:15pm from the apartment and we had heavy suitcases (2 week trip to 4 locations) so it was very ideal being able to stay later. Great location for access to Hollywood (which has metro links), Universal studios etc.
I noted some reviews mentioned difficulty of Uber's finding the location - we had no problems with this. FYI - Lyft is cheaper and has deals for new users! The roads are very windy though - wouldn't recommend driving unless you are super confident!
Overall - a couple of small issues at the start put us off at first but overall by the end of our trip we did have a good stay here, and I would recommend this property to others. And Kevin is a good host, communications were great.
