This was a great place to stay. We were attending a wedding in Beverly Hills with activities in Hollywood as well as Beverly Hills. It had easy access to all including the LAX airport. Our sons showed up earlier in the day so I am not able to speak to the check in procedure. The house had plenty of room for 6 and a nice sitting area out by the pool. While we were there it was too cold to use the pool, but the spa did have a heater if you had a 2 hour lead time to heat it up.
