We had a fabulous stay in Kelly's house in the Hollywood Hills! Kelly and her husband were there to greet us when we arrived and showed us around the place and explained how everything worked. They quickly left to allow us to unwind after a long trip.
The house is better than it even looks in the pictures, with high-end appliances, fixtures, doors, windows, and just about everything you can imagine. The kitchen was fully outfitted with all of the dishes and cookware we needed, including some oils and spices for cooking. There were plenty of nice, thick towels and the bed sheets were some of the nicest we've ever slept on. We even looked at the brand so we can buy some for our own home.
Every room, even the kitchen, had a huge smart TV with all kinds of entertainment choices. There was a built-in Sonos in the kitchen, so all we had to do was use the app on our phone to play any music we wanted. The Wi-fi was available throughout the house and our two teenagers had more than enough bandwidth to satisfy their appetites.
The house is super-convenient to Hollywood - it is less than a 5 minute walk to Yamashiro's and about a 10 minute walk to Hollywood Boulevard. If you need a car there is a Hertz in the Loews hotel right at the foot of the hill, and it is within easy walking distance. The garage connected to the house is extra-large and easy to get into and out of.
After a hectic day of sight-seeing the house offered us such a nice, quiet retreat high above the craziness of Hollywood that we found ourselves staying in for dinner and watching some movies together. It was a vacation to remember.
