My son and I stayed at Laurie's cute cottage over a few days in the Hollywood area. Laurie was great about communicating with us in a timely way and making sure we had all the information we needed. This was a nice central location - pretty easy access to the freeway, only 10ish minutes to Universal Studios. The home was very cute outside and inside, the beds were cozy, and we had a nice big TV to relax in front of after tiring days of sightseeing! Definitely recommended - one thing to keep in mind is that it's not a really walkable area, not much within walking distance. But if that's not a priority, this is a great option!
