We had a great stay at this property. It has everything you need for up to 8 people. LA is so huge so why not just stay in the Hollywood Hills overlooking the Hollywood sign. Ubers were extremely easy to get around and they don't cost a lot of money. You can be on Hollywood Boulevard in 20 mins via Uber.
There are shops 9 mins walk away if you don't mind walking back up a steep hill.
Overall I would definitely recommend if visiting LA for the first time with a big group of friends.
