There's no better place to stay in Hollywood than Sam's! She is so lovely and meeting her was one of the highlights of my trip. She set the precedent for what was a lovely long weekend in LA where I met some of the nicest people I've ever met while traveling!
Her apartment is spacious and beautiful with so many perks. The photos are compeletely accurate. The apartment itself and the entire complex has many great amenities (reasonably priced parking! a pool! sauna! washer/dryer in the apartment!), it's within walking distance to some incredible restaurants, and right near the metro station and FlyAway bus stop, 10 minute drive away from Universal Studios, one metro stop away from Hollywood and Highland and in a great area in general. I was a female traveling alone and I never felt unsafe in the area. Yes, there are homeless folks around but you're going to see that in every major city. Just ignore them and they will ignore you.
I came here as an extension from an annual work conference and I'm already planning to do the same next year and stay at Sam's apartment! Don't think twice about choosing this Air Bnb-- it'll be one of the best parts of your LA trip!
