This place exceeded our expectations, the location was also a lot more convenient than we realized. Claire was very informative, accurate and quick to respond as a host. The view from the bed was beautiful, from the stairs and door, even more so. You are a short drive to everything, a lot of food and hikes right around the corner. We hiked at the Griffith towards the Hollywood sign, and it was an 11 min drive back from the paid parking area of the observatory! My fiancé, a native, enjoyed our drive in and out of the area, the views driving over the LA river opening up to the hills were stunning every single time. As well as turning that corner on los Feliz and seeing the city views. Choosing this place on a whim made for it to really enhance this trip in ways we never expected, because it was a perfect stay.
