Mary's place was spotless and well-appointed. There was a modem in the room and I was able to pick up e-mail and text on my iPhone with lightning-fast speed. My room, on the second floor, was directly across from two bathrooms, one with a shower. Very convenient. I've stayed in several airbnb properties and occasionally met the host, not always. This time, I had the pleasure of meeting Mary, who was out-going, cheerful and very friendly. We had a great conversation! If you have a car, the location can be a bit tricky. Because Mary's place is near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, parking is very difficult. There are three meters in front of her property, but you need to feed the meter one hour at a time from 8 am to 8 pm. There are meters on side streets and a few parking lots on her street. If you don't have a car, it's a great location, close to everything "Hollywood," bars, clubs, restaurants and eclectic shops.
