The location of this place is fabulous. I had been looking for a place close to Hollywood Blvd. (where my children attended Comedy school) and also safe for young children. "Cool Pad" is nestled in a very safe neighborhood that is a 4 minute drive to Hollywood Blvd., walk-able and interesting. My children (12, 9, 7, 3, 2) and I took walks up Beechwood Ave. to see the beautiful/quirky homes around the neighborhood. Beechwood Market is a couple of blocks away and Trader Joe's is also pretty close (7 minute drive). There is a laundry room/area, which was very helpful. The hosts are friendly and helpful and the actual "pad" is welcoming and cozy inside. It truly was a little home away from home. We loved staying here!
