I had one night short stay at Mary's house. The house is located at the prime area of Hollywood, walk distance to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If you don't drive, it maybe a perfect location for you. If you drive, you may pay for public parking or street parking. Fortunately, during Christmas day (25 Dec 2015), I got a free street parking till the next morning at 0800hrs (Mary shared this info with me). The entire house has many rooms which are occupied by other travelers during my stay. Restrooms are shared. It looks like a motel rather than somebody's home. The room is quite big and clean as described except that there's a garbage station located next to the house. Mary is very helpful though I didn't have a chance to meet her in person. Overall, that was a good experience.
