This place is a treasure! I traveled alone for my 63rd birthday & wanted to see a Pink Floyd Exhibition in Hollywood. When I saw Dino's listing on Airbnb it was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to be near Laurel Canyon and yet close to the city sights I wanted to see. I arrived in Burbank on the Coast Starlight Train at 9:30 or so & picked up a rental car. I will say...driving up there the first time after dark was a bit harrowing, but I live in the mountains & didn't get too freaked out...lol The studio was tiny as described, but being 1 person, that wasn't a problem. Dino met me as I drove up & his little dog, Rio, gave me the sweetest greeting. What a cute little guy!! The small kitchen was well appointed, but I didn't even use it other than heating up leftovers in the microwave. I only used the fridge & it was great. The deck/patio right off the studio was fantastic! I spent a lot of time out there. He has TVs, heaters, seating & binoculars/telescopes out there. The view over the canyon to the city is spectacular & the sunset I witnessed there my first night was unbelievable!! The pool/spa area looked very inviting, but I was so comfy on the patio that I didn't feel like putting on a bathing suit. You can feel the old Hollywood history in the neighborhood & it always felt safe. The location would be perfect for after a show at the Hollywood Bowl. The Uber ride to the heart of Hollywood was short & inexpensive. The drivers in LA are insane, so I chose not to drive in the city after my first day. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for something cool & quirky for a great price. If you want luxury, stay at a hotel...lol
