Gabriel's place was so magical! The photos definitely don't do it justice! I enjoyed every minute of it. Everything is brand new, but the decor still has nostalgic character.
It's a perfect getaway nestled in the Hollywood hills, but still a close drive to the city. I also stayed here by myself, and usually I'm a big scaredy cat, but I felt extremely safe, especially with the gated entry.
Highlights – I loved playing music on the surround sound speakers, which you can connect to via bluetooth. And the GARDEN! It's surrounded by different colored roses, lavender, poppy flowers and more. It's like your own secret garden. Loved doing yoga out on the patio in the mornings and relaxing by the fire pit at night. All of the Turkish lanterns light up at night in the trees and around the garden, which makes it even more magical.
Kitchen – It had all of the essentials I needed to cook meals! It also had three different ways to make coffee (Nespresso, French press, drip coffee maker).
Bed – So comfortable! I haven't slept that well in a long time. I loved waking up to the view of the lush garden and poppy field.
Living space – The huge TV was amazing. It was like having a home theatre. I also loved opening up all of the windows towards sunset to bring in the nice breeze from the hills. Loved sipping my coffee on one of the balconies which overlooks the hills, mountains and even the Hollywood sign.
Do not think twice about booking this place – do it!
