We were travelling from the UK to LA to attend a concert at the Hollywood Bowl and wanted a central location to explore LA from whilst we were there. John's place was perfect for this as we were only a few blocks away from Hollywood Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard and Metro stations making it really easy to visit the main sights. For longer trips, or when we were feeling lazy, an Uber or Lyft was only ever a few minutes away. Our flight was slightly delayed, so the easy keyless entry check-in meant we weren't delayed in accessing the apartment and could start relaxing immediately after our long flight. John had also left us bottles of water, wine and coffee so we could make a drink as soon as we arrived which was a nice touch. Despite being close to all the main Hollywood attractions (Walk of Fame, Kodak Theatre etc), the place is located in a quiet residential street so feels leafy and peaceful. The outside space features a private garden with deck, table & chairs and pretty fairy lights, as well as a separate lounging area. Sadly we didn't get the chance to sit outside and enjoy it because we were out most evenings, but looked like a perfect outdoor space to enjoy a glass of wine or to have breakfast and read a book. Inside, the apartment is just as it is in the photos - immaculate and stylish. All furnishings are high quality, modern and new. The kitchen has every possible gadget and appliance you could need, meaning we were able to cook at home a few nights whilst we were there. The washer and dryer were also really easy to use (and possibly the largest washer/driers we had ever seen!) and we were grateful to find that washing liquid and softner was left for us, so we didn't need to buy any cleaning items during our stay. Shopping wise, there’s a 7-Eleven one block away and it’s only a 5-10 minute walk to Trader Joe’s or CVS to get a wider selection of groceries. The ability to use the WIFI and also the iMac was also extremely useful for looking up things in the local area or booking tickets. Bed wise - unbelievably comfy, which made getting out of bed kind of tough! During our stay we felt very at home and that we had privacy and could come and go as we pleased, but communication with John was really easy and we felt he was only a text or call away if we needed anything. Unfortunately, because we were only in LA for a short time and trying to squeeze in as many sights as we could, we didn’t get the chance to grab coffee or dinner with John and Joe, but would love to stop by and say hi if we’re back in the area. We would definitely recommend booking John’s place if you’re looking for somewhere in a quiet, but central location and...
