I could not rate my experience staying at Vincenzo's place more highly. The guest room I stayed in was large, well-appointed and with a very comfortable bed. The house itself is very nice, and stylish in a comfortable and a relaxed way. One of the many benefits of staying with Vince is being in in one of the canyons of the Hollywood Hills. Contrary to what you might think, the hills are very quiet and relaxed, with an almost bohemian feel. This was true at least of Vince's neighborhood, where the nearby canyon road does not lead up over the hills into The Valley, meaning that it is not a thoroughfare unlike some of the other canyon roads. Vince's place has a stellar view of Los Angeles city in one direction, and the Hollywood sign/ the hills in the other. Every morning was accompanied by a delicious, fresh breakfast sitting outside enjoying the surroundings. It really felt quite luxuriousness.
Vince himself is a very nice bloke. He is welcoming, relaxed and friendly. He is a mine of information about Los Angeles, having lived there for some time and has lots of handy tips about places to go. Thanks Vince, you're the best! If I'm ever back in LA, I know where I'll be staying.
