I stayed here with a group of girlfriends for a long weekend and we absolutely loved it. The house looks just like the pictures -- it was beautiful, clean, open/airy and nicely decorated. The pool was an amazing perk and we spent most of our time out there! This home is in a residential area away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, which allows for pretty amazing views of the Hollywood Hills. I'd say this is a great option if you want something that's centrally located to both downtown and the beach (probably about a 15-25 min drive to each, depending on traffic). The neighborhood was quiet and not far from shops/restaurants/supermarket/etc (about an 8 min drive). Johnel was also very responsive/available if we had any questions/needed anything. We really loved our stay and didn't want to leave!
