The views and outdoor pool and dining area are what make this place magical. If you plan on eating out then it’s not a big deal that there isn’t a full kitchen. As a heads up for anyone who hasn’t driven in the Hollywood hills before, it can be a bit scary with one lane roads so if you’re afraid of that sort of thing you should keep that in mind. I didn’t actually go in the pool or hot tub because it was too cold out. The pool because it’s out in nature inevitably has things like flowers and whatnot blown into it so you should expect that. It’s not going to be a pristine luxury hotel pool.
