Michael's place worked out perfectly for us. Comfortable bed, up-to-date kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures, everything spotless and in working order. Michael made us feel welcome and was helpful in orienting us to the neighborhood. The location was perfect for us, just a block from the Yoga workshop we attended. It's just a couple easy blocks from the heart of Hollywood, if that's your destination — just far enough to be peaceful at night! Very central for exploring that part of Los Angeles — Griffith Park and museums, LACMA, Farmer's Market and The Grove, studio tours, and so on. We stayed parked on the street in front and mostly used Uber and the Metro to get around — no driving and parking and hoping to find a spot when we returned. Michael's place is vintage 1920s LA — but updated nicely by Michael and kept spotless by his cleaners. We were very comfortable, felt safe, and couldn't have been in a better location.
