This "cool pad" was exactly as advertised or maybe a little better. It's a gem. It's a cozy (though not tiny) one bedroom, well appointed and well located, just down the road from the Hollywood sign. There's a fine little market with a good beer and wine selection within a 10 minute walk. Elen was a fantastic host, on premise and accessible in the building behind the 2 flat this unit is in but we never felt like we were in her way nor she in ours. We felt totally at ease staying here with our 3 children, ages 2-8. We felt both very much at home and like we were the special guests of an old friend. We would definitely stay here again. This was our first airbnb experience and I'll be amazed if they are all this good.
