We have been traveling to LA a lot for the last five years and have stayed in many houses, condos and hotels and now have found the gem of Hollywood rentals. The house is large and beautiful with all of the comforts of home. Al did an exceptional job building this house after the earthquake and yes the views are exceptional, but what really makes this house so great and exceptional is Al and Leslie. From the minute we arrived Al made us feel welcome and comfortable in his lovely home. We traveled with my two dogs this trip and I know the dogs felt welcome and comfortable as well. Al was not uptight about the dogs which speaks to the personality of this man. We travel to LA for medical reasons for my wife which is extremely stressful but staying with Al and Leslie lifted much of the stress from my head. Not only did I find the perfect place to stay in LA but made a friend as well. Al's light shines bright!
