This has to be just about the best location in all of LA, up on the top of a ridge in the Hollywood Hills. The views in both directions are spectacular, and the home and Laurel Canyon neighborhood have a true rock n roll vibe (former owner John Mayall of the Bluesbreakers put his new guitarist up there, a Brit named Eric, when he joined the band, and named the bar the Brain Damage Club). Just down the hill is the Canyon Country Store where rock icons used to shop, and Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards are just a bit farther down. The house itself could use some refreshing, but a renovation would probably make the place that much more expensive to rent, and the owner’s agent Tammy was very responsive to requests to clean and repair things. Highlights include the salt water pool and in the jacuzzi, and a the balconies on three levels in front and back.
