Darrell was an exceptional host. He is a truly sincere, harmonious, kind, and very helpful person. He gives you enough space, is very balanced (no excessive conversation but just enough), informative, and wise (I learned from him in the brief conversations that we had). His place is a cozy, quaint treasure: close enough to the best places in West Hollywood, yet, quiet and offset enough from any traffic or crowding. I had my own parking space for my rental car (but Uber is a perfect alternative). Also, Darrell mentioned a park to me, "Runyon Canyon Park" and I went there and had a very spiritual and meditative experience. People come from near and far to trek up this beautiful mountain at this park. It overlooks the "Hollywood" sign and the magnificent mansions built at the top of the mountain. It became like a religion for me to make sure that I went there, and I hiked the beautiful and majestic hills of the mountain. I would not have known about Runyon Canyon, unless Darrell shared it with me. He was eager to figure out and let you know what might be easiest for you, in terms of the logistics of navigating your route and the city, and of the hidden gems of the city based on what your needs and interests might be. Also, if you have to recover from surgery or take a holiday for yourself and/or your significant other -this place is PERFECT as well. It is close to some of the best medical facilities in California. I will be going back to Runyon Canyon park as well and will DEFINITELY be making Darrell's place my first choice to stay-always!
