We decided to extend our stay in LA and so booked Ernesto's place ahead of a couple of slightly ritzier apartments on the basis of a) the location and b) the reviews about what a great host he is.
As it turned out, he was away for our stay (not at all his fault - we booked very last minute) and so his dogsitter was looking after the place on his behalf. They were really friendly and gave us a few good local recommendations for coffee and brunch spots.
It does mention in the description, but it's worth mentioning - as most of the pics in the listing are of the main house - the space you're renting is a little wood-paneled cabin-like space underneath (but attached to) the main house, although we did go upstairs into the main house to use the kitchen a couple of times.
If you're looking for LA glamour - this is not it. As a relatively tall man I could only just about stand up in the shower without bumping my head! But the space served our needs fine and the bedroom opens out on to the main selling point...the deck. The view is AMAZING and you can watch the sunset above the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory. You also get to love on Ernesto's two dogs who are absolutely adorable and very chill.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend staying here as long as you aren't seeking palatial luxury. I could have sat and looked at that view for hours. Only other thing to be aware is that the area is *very* hilly (we're talking San Fran-esque) so you'll either need to have a car or be prepared to take a lot of Ubers.
