As other reviewers noted, Linda is a very kind host. She was quick to respond to my questions prior to arrival and seemed intent on making our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. We found the place to be in a great location, within walking distance to Hollywood & Highland, the Hollywood Bowl, and even Runyon Canyon (popular hiking trail). Street parking was hit or miss, but Linda said we could take a spot in the driveway whenever we needed. That came in handy a few times.

The unit is charming with lots of natural light. We found it to be in pretty good shape. The linens were clean and crisp, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was nice. The unit does have AC but Linda preferred we cool off the place by opening the windows and keeping the fans on. The fans were sufficient after sundown, but mid-day, even with most of the windows open and the fans on full blast, the place got steamy. We expressed an interest in turning on the AC to Linda but she told us to open more windows. We let it go, but if you like a cooler environment, you may need to insist.

We did notice the outside patio furniture was a bit dirty and in need of a good spray down. Not in the best shape for the outdoor meal we hoped to have. But we were so busy it wasn't a big deal to us.

Overall I enjoyed my experience and thought Linda was very sweet. She provided drinks and snacks in the room and even gave us fresh baked banana bread upon meeting her the first night. We really appreciated that. Thanks Linda!
