Jewel of the Hollywood Hills

This is, hands down, the coolest, swankiest AirBnb we've ever stayed in. Russell has restored this mid-century modern gem to perfection. He met us at the property and walked us through the house, showing us all the switches for the indoor and outdoor lighting. He took a lot of care in planning out the artwork, lighting and flow. The sizable deck overlooks Moorcrest, Charlie Chaplin's historic 1920 estate, and you can see Griffith Observatory and downtown LA through the haze. From the kitchen, you can stare at the Hollywood sign. And who doesn't want to rinse dishes with that as your view! The house is appointed with every comfort, from a fabulous gas fireplace and luxe towels and bed linens to a perfectly outfitted kitchen, complete with gas grill on the back patio. We don't get to LA that often but we didn't venture out much because we loved just hanging out in this space. The dining room table is white lucite and lights up, for crying out loud! We felt pretty fabulous eating our backlit grilled salmon. The indoor water feature was a nice touch and the Internet and DirecTV worked beautifully. We can't wait to visit again!
