This place is a nice space in the middle of the city. It's close enough to Hollywood proper for getting out but also further away enough that you don't feel like you're always in the middle of everything. There are a few places within walking distance but you'll probably still want a car. The space itself is laid out quite well and has things you'll need for a longer stay.
To no fault of the hosts' own, the area around is quite trashy and not the cleanest for walking a dog. We were able to find a few places to go to but there weren't many, if your pup likes grassy areas. Having a cat in the space was quite easy and definitely recommended.
The hosts are very communicative and the gardeners are really nice. You do have laundry (coin) but they are quite large units so you could get away with fewer loads. Great stay overall and quite private even though there are other units in the vicinity with the shared courtyard.
