Everything about my stay at Darren's Hollywood fabulous pad was perfect: the meticulous directions on how to get into the place: a card with wifi information in a readily noticeable spot; local magazines to help guests get a taste of living like a true Angeleno and a binder outlining local coffee shops, grocery stores and nearby delivery restaurants. The cabana, pictured here, is like a Mediterranean fantasy of a spot to take a nap, sip wine or surf the Internet (the wifi is plenty strong). The sheets are high thread count and the bedroom upstairs gets a strong enough cross-breeze that I never had to turn on the A/C during my mid-July stay. In terms of location, the location is well-suited for a non-driver: just off Wilshire, a main drag of the city and near Hancock Park, home of famed museums the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and downtown LA are just a bus ride away on the nearby 720 express bus. And of course, Hollywood is just uphill. In the parlance of eBay, A++++++++++++++++++.
