Barbara’s place could not be in a better location! Everything was basically a 10-15 min Lyft ride away. Super close to the sunset strip/Hollywood Blvd. Walking distance to the rainbow room and other bars that had live music. The view from the guesthouse was incredible, and the use of the pool was also a highlight for us as the weather was great to lay in the sun.
The guesthouse is super cute. A bit dated in terms of appliances/furniture, but has all the key elements that are needed to enjoy your stay. It was still better than staying in a hotel. Barb’s YouTube video gave us an outline of exactly what to expect, which was helpful. Barb was there to greet us and was easily available if we needed anything as she also lives on the property. She also had a book with suggestions on things to do in the area

My only somewhat negative comment is that that pull out couch in the back bedroom was rock hard. We improvised by taking the cushions off the couch and adding them under the sheets to give a bit more comfort. It worked for the most part, but due to this I wouldn’t recommend that three people stay here. Perfect for two though as the double bed in the main room is fairly comfy.
I would definitely recommend Barb’s place to other visitors that are looking to explore LA. She was a great host!!
