Joseph’s communication was excellent, both during the booking process and the lead-up to our stay as well as during our time in LA.

The guesthouse /studio is well located in the east of West Hollywood, a ten to fifteen minute walk to a supermarket or Hollywood Boulevarde. The outdoor garden area is beautiful, well designed and compliments the house beautifully. I’m sure that in warmer weather it would be a pleasure to eat dinner under the stars and the high fences definitely add to the sense of security.

The kitchen was well appointed, with all the cookware, crockery, glassware and silverware you could need.

We found the bathroom a little rustic – the sliding shower screen rollers were broken and held closed with a hair elastic, and the shower recess floor was damaged. Plenty of towels were provided however, everything worked and it was clean.

During our four day stay the Wi-Fi was slow and occasionally unavailable which was disappointing, as was the absence of the complimentary bottle of champagne mentioned in the listing.

Overall the bedroom / living area is quite small, especially once you add two people and a couple of suitcases. Travelers wanting to spend time relaxing with a book or watching a movie may consider it cramped. Not too bad for the price but consider a different choice if you like to spread out at all.
