Europa was a warm and welcoming host along with her very friendly and absolutely adorable dog and they made me feel very at home. Great views over the city from the hillside garden/patio area, in what feels like a calm oasis in spite of being only a short walk/ drive / Uber from the a lot of the main Hollywood attractions and bars and restaurants. Also only a short distance from some lovely walks in the hills and the Beachwood Cafe which is excellent for brunch.
The apartment retains quite a lot of the original features and southern Mediterranean style typical of “Old Hollywood” giving it a slightly bohemian vibe. It is spacious and excellent value. Also the shower has really good water pressure for the area (as someone who lives in Helsinki I’ve been missing that whilst travelling around SoCal).
