The property was actually BETTER than expected. There was a separate dining room, which I hadn't quite understood, a full living room, a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom. The area was PERFECT - smack in the middle of residential Hollywood. In fact, tourists came up our street to photograph the HOLLYWOOD sign.

Everything was provided, and I mean everything. There was even food in the cupboards for late arrivals. Every kitchen utensil was available, plenty of pillows (of varying types so I could choose!), a comfortable bed. A truly lovely experience, made more so by Elen herself - kind, knowledgeable and available, with plenty of anecdotes (I won't spoil it by telling you which famous musical group used to live next door). The houses in the neighborhood were mostly 1920s, with great charm, and our home (because that's exactly what it felt like) was off on a little side street on which you couldn't even hear the traffic - yet we were in the heart of Hollywood.

If I ever return to Los Angeles I won't even look anywhere else for a place to stay. And to think the three of us might have ended up in cramped hotel room at three times the price! We were sorry to leave - we loved every minute.
