Polina's place is nice and quiet despite being close to downtown Hollywood. There's a patio off the guesthouse which is shaded with bamboo and several trees - we even saw a couple hummingbirds back there. We took metro a lot on our visit so we also appreciated that it was only a few blocks from the redline Hollywood and Highland stop. Polina was easy to communicate with and the place was clean and ready on arrival. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to stay in that area.
