The place is exactly as pictured it was very clean when we arrived. My friend and I are both women in our 20's and we felt very safe walking around the neighborhood especially as we didn't rent a car we relied primarily on walking and Uber/Lyft. There's a lot of good restaurants nearby and a grocery store only about a 15 min walk/5 min drive away. We stayed for just under a week and were traveling on vacation. It's a really convenient location if you are interested in doing a lot of things in and around Hollywood and the downtown area, most things only took us like 10/20 min to get to. The beach will take at least 40 min to an hour to get to but worked out great for us because we only planned for one beach day. The place is also pretty close to some hiking trails and Griffith park and the observatory which you can see from the street. Olivia is a really awesome host and responds really quickly to any questions and let's you know if anything comes up. Her family helps run the place and is also really awesome and around if you have questions/concerns. She was able to accommodate us for an earlier check in. We also had our flight get pushed back from morning to late night and ran into her Father on our way out who was really nice and even offered to give us a ride to the airport but we already had one. Upon hearing we had to check out earlier than expected Olivia even refunded us for our last night which we did not ask for or were expecting at all so that was very kind of her. Olivia and her family really care about their guests, this is a great place in a convenient location if you decide to stay here you will be in good hands!
