John's place is truly a home away from home. We were able to check in a little earlier than check-in time, which was a godsend after a long flight with two kids from Australia!
The home is within walking distance of all the tourist spots in Hollywood as well as restaurants and supermarkets and a short distance to Universal by car.
We're not that used to the sounds of traffic at night, and the LA helicopters can circle for what seems to be hours! I'd suggest earplugs if this bothers anyone (the kids slept through it!), but it shouldn't deter you from John's - a secluded, private home with lots of special touches. Thoroughly recommended!
