I rented out this house during New Years Eve and had an excellent experience. Vincenzo's exactly the type of host that you look for when using aribnb to book your vacation. He was gracious to loan out his entire house to me and friends for the whole weekend and provided us with treats and full use of all his amenities.
As far as the accommodations you always hear how its about location, location, location. And this house couldn't be better, you're about a 5 min. drive off the 101 Freeway and Hollywood/Sunset Blvds.
There are also great views of the Hollywood sign and downtown LA area.
If you are coming to LA for vacation/first time visit then I would highly recommend this place. Vincenzo's knowledge of the LA area is better than any tourist book or information you can find online. I just wish I could have taken him up on a few more recommendations but I had prior arrangements.
