Deirdre and Niall saved us big time. Not only that, but made us feel so at home at their place.
We landed in LAX 3pm with 3 teenagers only to find our previously booked Airbnb host had cancelled on us with no explanation right at the time of expected check-in.
We thus searched frantically from our phone "where do we go now" and found this place. Got in touch with Deirdre and Niall who in no time got everything set up for us - Arrived to find a beautiful and clean apartment in Hollywood , stocked with beer , wine and chocolates. Deirdre called us to ensure all was OK and gave us tips to visit the night market two blocks away where we could have delicious food especially in a day when our stress levels were high... that detail made us immediately relax and start enjoying our vacation. Deirdre was in touch along our stay always to suggest tips and ensuring all was good on our side.
The apartment is on a very quiet hill, yet only 4 block walk away if you want to visit the Hollywood landmarks (e.g. the Hollywood Walk of Fame). It's also a perfect place to stay when going to the Hollywood Bowl... forget about parking issues, just walk a few blocks downhill and be at the Bowl!!
The distribution inside the apartment is very convenient for a family with kids: master bedroom with bathroom , separated by an ample living-room / family-room from another large bedroom with its own bathroom which is ideal for kids (plenty of beds). Small and functional well-stocked kitchen where we found everything we needed to prepare big breakfasts for the family and bring food in the evening for dinner. A sunroom and a balcony with great views of L.A. from the hill complete the setup.
You have your own parking space outside. Universal Studios and Warner Bros were just 10 mins drive away.
A great stay and we will comeback and recommend this place for other future visits!
And thanks again Deirdre for the hospitality and friendship you offered me and my family!
