We stayed at Nicole's place for few days while visiting Los Angeles. Location is ideal, proximity to the main attractions (Griffith Observatory, Universal Studios, Hollywood Boulevard). We had a car but sometime we would take uber for a 10-15 dollars ride to city centre. The neighbourhood is really cool, very quiet, a lot of small, original houses hidden between the hills. Nicole's place is one of that, a gem hidden in the trees, very calm, very quiet, the ideal place to rest after a day in the city. The second bedroom is actually separated from the main house (but still very close) which is is super attractive if you travel with a teenager since they can have their privacy. Amenities are great, a lot of towels, bathroom products, kitchen is fully equipped and Nicole left also some food and drinks for us. Rules of the house are very simple and we felt really comfortable staying there as if it was our own place. As other people said there are about 30 stairs to reach the house but it is definitely worth it and it is not a big deal at all unless you have serious mobility issues. I definitely advice to stay at Nicole's place and I would be happy to visit her another time!
