This is a sweet spot with a great view of the Hollywood Hills. Because of that, we decided to order in dinner after a tiring day of wandering because you can’t beat that view at most restaurants anyway. Perfect for having a glass of Cali wine on the balcony.
Noise: This is the downstairs unit and there is little insulation between the floors. If there are loud guests in the larger unit above, you will hear all stomping and furniture moving in the middle of the night the way we did. Disturbed our sleep and that of our dog’s. Something to be aware of and get ahead of. You can turn on the fan in the AC unit to try to drown out the noise but it only sort of helps.
Cleanliness: Mostly very clean but some dust and hair in the corners. Balcony chairs were very dusty but you can wipe those with the provided paper towels.
Amenities: Convenient appliances so you don’t need a kitchen! But the bathroom sink was clogged when we arrived so it was slow to drain. Plenty of tea and cups as well! Could use some extra towels, there were only 2.
Location and space: Quiet and beautiful residential area walking distance to a beautiful hike near the Hollywood reservoir or lake (? Not sure which). Easy to walk your dog around and find places for his relief. Owner loves pooches too, which is always great. No pet fee, which is super appreciated especially since our Shiba Inu is very tidy and no-mess. Bigger, messier dogs should take extra care in the space. The studio is suuuuper spacious.
Overall: Would stay here again!
