We had a great time out our stay in North Hollywood. It is quite close to Universal Studios which was our main goal, but also very convenient to Hollywood and the major tourist sites, all on a fairly quiet street close to everything. Thankfully despite having record heat in the near 100s when we came, we were able to stay cool due to a central a/c which is a rarity in a 1940s Craftsman style home. We we were too busy to take advantage of the nice looking pool table outside - will have to wait until another visit!
