Aaah! Cannot rave enough about this place. Michelle's outhouse is the perfect place to stay if you want the full experience of living in West Hollywood.
First of all, Michelle is an absolutely fantastic host - aside from her genuine warmth and friendliness, she was very helpful whenever we needed her, as well as completely leaving us to our own space and privacy with no issues.
The location of this sweet little outhouse was one of the best things about it, being only a 30 second walk to the famous Melrose Avenue you couldn't really ask for much better. There's also a really handy CVS right on the corner which sells all the basic essentials, and if you're a coffee lover like me - a Starbucks a couple of blocks away! While it is typical to drive everywhere in LA, Michelle's place was central enough to walk to quite a few places (e.g. The Grove was only a 15 min walk) - in the sunshine it's lovely to stroll around the beautiful streets of WEHO! The street was lovely and quiet despite being so close to Melrose Avenue and we felt very safe during our stay.
In terms of the apartment itself, it's totally true to the pictures; in fact we couldn't believe how spacious it felt! We stayed here for just over two weeks and had everything we needed. Although there is no stove, the apartment is equipped with a mini fridge (perfect for keeping milk, juice, fruit, veg, cooked meat etc.), kettle, microwave and toaster oven. This meant we could have breakfast and cold meals ( lots of salads!!) comfortably without having to cook much! Everything felt very clean and there were spare towels/sheets if we ever needed them. The portable radiator also came in handy when it got a little colder outside!
Whether you're staying for a couple of days or a couple of weeks you couldn't ask for a nicer place than Michelle's. The apartment made our trip to LA all the more enjoyable and we know where to stay when we come back!
