We had a lovely stay at Michael and Chris’s house. The apartment is spacious and stylish with lots of amenities and treats. There is a coffee maker and coffee provided, as well as a small hob and toaster. We also had cereal bars, crisps, water (essential in summer),juice etc. We didn’t use the coffee maker as we weren’t sure how to, not having one at home. The bed is very comfortable and I slept well. We were a bit cold from the air conditioning one evening but it is controlled from another part of the house so we just used the blankets. It is possible to hear quite a lot from Michael and Chris’s apartment upstairs, people moving about, creaking floors and sometimes the dog scraping at the door, but the sounds were never late or enough to bother us.
The studio city area is really nice, especially the bit when you turn right at the bottom of the hill. We didn’t have time to explore all the shops but they were a nice eclectic mix. There is a large Ralph’s if you turn left at the bottom of the hill, about 10 minutes away. We walked and it was a bit far to carry groceries so best to drive there. We were handy for the Warner Bros studio tour and the Walk of Fame. We went to Venice Beach and it took a good hour but worth it to see the sunset. We also walked up to the Griffith observatory from the Greek theatre and it was a good hike but not too strenuous. You can see the Hollywood sign from the top of the hill. We went to a film about water in the planetarium and it was spectacular and not expensive.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.
