I stayed in Francia's place for about six weeks while I and my two kids looked for a permanent place. It was a perfect introduction for us to Los Angeles, and we liked North Hollywood enough to settle into a rental here.
The house is really cool. Old, classy, with charm and quirks. Nothing we couldn't work around, for sure, but I tell you, we missed not having a dishwasher! LOL.
Tons of storage and a beautiful garden. Check it out!
