Our family of four (inc two young children) stayed for a week here and had a wonderful visit. For a 2 bedroom bungalow, we were pleasantly surprised at how spacious the house felt. It is part of a duplex (that is also a vacation rental) but you really would never know it as it has its own private entrance and backyard. We spent a good amount of time at the house in between sight-seeing and our kids had plenty of room to run around and play. We did not use the kitchen much but it seemed well stocked with high end appliances and full spice rack. We also never had an issue with parking (which is permitted street parking) during our whole visit.
The best part of this house is the location. It really is centrally located to visit all that LA has to offer. We loved having the option to walk to restaurants, stores, Walk of Fame, Dolby theater, & the Hollywood farmers market. Driving was also not an issue for us. We visited all different parts of the city/area including Dodger stadium, downtown, cal science center, UCLA, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, & Griffith Park. From the house you had easy access to the highway but more often we took local roads which allowed you to experience the city more.
John and Josh were very attentive, responsive and thoughtful hosts. They knew we were coming with young children and brought over some of their own son's toys as well as kid friendly snacks for our kids. We had a minor issue with the door lock our first night in town and they quickly came over and took care of it right away.
The only thing to note for future guests is that while the house is on a residential street in Hollywood, it is still in the city. If you are coming from the suburbs you should expect to hear more street noise (cars, music, people talking) at all hours. The front room and living room which has the pull out sofa face the street and are more exposed to the noise. This was not a major issue for us or our children but if you have really light sleepers you should pack some ear plugs or put them in the back room.
Overall we had a wonderful time and we hope to stay here again in the future.
