A peaceful studio nestled on a hillside, Frank's home is the perfect place for a quiet retreat or a stay-cation from the bustle of the city.
The Home Itself: This is a recently renovated guest studio with a very zen minimalist feel. The decor is all well tied together, emphasizing relaxation. The home offers tons of privacy with its own patio with an amazing view, a comfy rooftop and daybed. Natural lighting and lots of sunshine is the big selling point here. For light cooking, there is a small sink, refrigerator and a very capable toaster / convection oven. The murphy bed was a fun touch, and was comfortable to sleep on.
Since it's the Hollywood Hills, I did have some issues with the Wi-Fi, which made it difficult to work. If you are able to work out in the courtyard, you can get a sporadic signal. Frank was helpful in resetting the router to try to fix any issues. I would recommend that you stay at this home as more of a retreat, than an office.
Location: The home is nestled in the Hollywood Hills, with plenty of street parking. You are high up enough that you are in a quiet neighborhood, but a short 5 minute drive down puts you right on Sunset Blvd.
The host: Frank was a welcoming and hospitable host. He was quick to respond to any questions, and will give you as much or as little interaction as you desire.
Overall, we had a great, relaxing time. The location is central to most places in LA, which is not something you normally find when staying in the Hills. I would recommend Frank's home anytime.
