The villa was beautiful. Diego has done a great job of designing a space that feels authentic, with quality hardware, fixtures and accents. His many unique architectural details add so much character. It's a great place and spacious to settle in and feel like you're at home. The location is fantastic. It's like being in the Hills but with easy in and out. We walked to the Hollywood Bowl with picnic gear, and I can't imagine there's any better way to do the Bowl and avoid traffic, parking, etc. The bed was super comfortable, and the bench was very convenient and functional for suitcases. The couch was very comfortable as well for stretching out to catch some football games, and there were ample throw pillows and blankets. Though Diego does not include a BBQ grill in the list of amenities, the photos show a nice built-in grill on the patio. I bought some nice steaks to grill for dinner only to find out the grill doesn't work. Be forewarned. And as beautiful as the fire pit is, I had visions of cozy conversation around the fire on cool California nights. Alas, I was a little disappointed that there is no fire, only battery operated candles. but the outdoor seating was really nice and casual with firm cushions. And, I have to say, I needed to reach out to Diego several times with questions and he responded immediately. The villa felt very secluded and private, but if there are guests in the upstairs unit, their balcony overlooks your patio and you will be able to hear them walking around upstairs. Neither of these were a problem for us, but I thought it worth mentioning as it could be a concern for others. All in all, it was a fantastic stay and I would definitely recommend Diego's villa.
