When looking from Alexios “Cole Crest” house down at LA, it feels like if you were any closer to the sky you would be sitting in airplane.
The house is recently renovated with modern contemporary Hollywood type of interiors. This means there’s plenty to admire indoors also. The villa’s bright, spacious great living room as well as ALL the rooms in the house have incredible views of the city. Despite that the house is on the hill, the exterior style has a twist of a beach house. The heated pool and Jacuzzi works well in the beach house on the hills. The gas based heating/air-condition system works promptly on this one-level house, meaning that the chosen temperature is the same in all rooms. ( which is not the case in the duplex houses ) The “Ikea type” of kitchen stands out in design, in otherwise so well designed interiors – but don’t worry it works well in use. Parking is a bit of a “challenge” in this villa. There is too little space, if there are extra cars visiting the neighborhood. Also for inexperienced “European” drivers the drive up to the top of the hill might be too exiting? The “long form” stairs from the street up to the house are exhausting when carrying suitcases either ways. In daily use they are not a problem. The long stairs worked for us quite the opposite. They are a good daily exercise, and they even create a mental feeling of extra security in the house witch has no alarm system.

We have lodged in many AirBnB houses, and Alexio is the best host we have EVEN read of. He is friendly, likable, clever and full of personality and positive energy. He met with our entire request and even overdid them. He filled the villa with flowers, provided cleaning, barbecue equipment and even borrowed a Hover-board for our kids. He kindly helped us with our baggage when we arrived. An all of this help - he did immediately.
We had a great two weeks stay in the villa, and were privileged to meet LA at its best. Alexio even got our family invited to an invitation only - Hollywood Hills New Years party, witch was turned out to be straight from the movies.
We can highly recommend Alexio and his villa to anyone who knows how to park and drive a car - and has good contemporary taste. We are not sure is Alexio for real, or is he a AirBnB perfect character played by a actor. Eater way – it worked for us and it will probably work for you.
