We were two girlfriends going to Los Angeles for a week, and Helen made our experience better than even imagined. We have both been to LA several times before, and have always stayed in hotels/motels. This time we got to see the area from a different point of view, and it was amazing. We got to experience how it is to actually live in the Hollywood Hills, and got a good insight into Helens and her boyfriends everyday life. They also gave us great tips of where to go (for instance to spot celebrities), when to go, and how to avoid traffic. Helen even offered to take us up to the Hollywood-sign to take a picture of us, and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. One morning she even made us waffles. At the same time, though, they are giving you the privacy you need (if you need it).

Even though one of us is normally not a big fan of dogs, her four dogs were not at all a problem. They are extremely well behaved (and extremely adorable).

Our room was fabulous, with an amazing big bed, walk in closet and TV. There was also a welcome-basket in the room, which we really appreciated. The home has a great location, and looks absolutely beautiful. We spent some mornings outside on the terrace, with beautiful views over the Hills. The breakfast-selection is vast and very impressive, and we also liked that we could keep some of our own stuff in the fridge. Staying at Helens definitely beats a motel that you get for the same price, and even more expensive hotels too, in our eyes.

We would definitely stay with Helen and her boyfriend again!
