My business & personal passion for travel brings me to many beautiful and interesting places. I always try to find a unique & indigenous place to stay. Sometimes its a 5 star hotel like the Taj Lake Palace in India. Sometimes I take a chance and go for a local Airbnb. So on this recent trip to California I decided to stay at Nora's home in the Hollywood Hills of Beverly Hills. As it was a truly affordable rate & much less than 4 or 5 star hotels, I was somewhat cautious of whether the pictures were accurate lol. OMG! This was literally the most beautiful AIRBNB I have ever stayed in. I only had one night booked & I immediately upon entering decided to stay 2! The windows throughout the place gave INCREDIBLE & SWEEPING views of the Hollywood Hills. Even from the Bathroom! The home was spotless clean and inviting. Pictures of Marilyn Monroe & James Deal, books on Old Hollywood, everything we needed was provided for. And when Nora was kind enough to visit us, the stories we heard of Betty Davis walking down the our winding street had us riveted. The neighborhood has so many amazing homes and stories that go with them. It's also just 20 or 30 minutes from EVERYTHING including the Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive and even pretty close to Venice Beach & Santa Monica Blvd. I can't really thank Nora enough for such an amazingly magical stay in the Hollywood Hills!!!
