Our family stayed with Vincenzo in August, and it was fantastic. The house has beautiful views of the Hollywood Hills and downtown Los Angeles, and the location is perfect, close to downtown and to alot of tourist destinations - only minutes from Paramount, and Warner Bros., Hollywood and Vine, and even Dodgers Stadium if you like baseball, and not far from Six Flags. Vincenzo is very warm and welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the area and sight-seeing. After we toured Paramount and Warner bros. studios, our kids wanted to see Fox Studios, which doesn't do tours - but Vincenzo went to the studio with us and got us in for a "back stage" tour! One day we went to Six Flags, my wife stayed in LA because she hurt her back, and Vincenzo found and took her to a massage therapist. Another night we were looking for a restaurant and Vincenzo recommended his neighbor's Italian restaurant. We ran into his neighbor a few minutes later and he called his restaurant to make sure we were well taken care of. Not only was the food great, but the restaurant is next to Nickelodeon Studios, and one of the actors from a Nick show was eating at the table next to us and took pictures with out kids. We recommend staying with Vincenzo if you visit LA.
