The place's decor and the view are gorgeous. The location is awesome, short drive to Hollywood Blvd. We were able to see both the sunrise and the sunset, and that is glorious. The bed was spacious and comfy. Waking up in the bedroom is an experience.
TL;DR for below: If you are looking for amenities/luxury that match the view, you may be disappointed.
If you're expecting to use the hot tub outside, soaker tub in the bedroom, or both shower heads in the bathroom, check with the host first that they are in working order. Also, if you're hearing impaired or rely on closed captioning for any reason, check with the host that the captioning on the tvs actually works now.
My partner and I we unable to use the hot tub - it had shorted & burned out not just one, but 2 sockets, which we were not aware of until we arrived.
The soaker tub is filled by a low pressure kitchen (not bathtub!) faucet. The host came by and took a look at the pressure and assured us it was fine but we felt gaslighted by the attempt to tell us that the half-hearted flow was normal. After one hour of letting it run just to see, the soaker tub was barely 25% full with lukewarm water. We abandoned the attempt as waiting 4 hours for a tub to fill is ridiculous.
Currently, the left showerhead in the bathroom needs a good cleaning - the water dribbled out vs a solid spray like the right head.
I am hearing impaired and the ability to turn on the captioning on both tvs was turned off/blocked. We could not access the captioning menu at all. I notified the host of this, so hopefully it is rectified for the next occupant.
Additionally, the listing sent us incorrect check-in instructions on heating and where to find certain things when we first arrived - a copy/paste error, no doubt. Fortunately, the host was prompt when we contacted him about the heating issue/incorrect instructions as well as our later inquiries about the hot tub and soaker tub issues.
While condolences were offered for the hot tub issue, the overall experience (aside from the gorgeous room/view!) was underwhelming. A few other things were off, such as no potholders/kitchen towels (had to use bath towels to take food out of the oven), had to search for the hand soap for the bathroom, no complimentary coffee/tea/water (at this price!!) etc.
If you like glamping, this is the spot for you! If you expect a little more tho - just know what you're getting.
