Janine and Larry have made a lovely space for anyone who wants to stay in a perfect location, in a very cool, safe neighborhood in Hollywood. Lots of great vintage architecture around the area, plus a fantastic view of the Hollywood sign as soon as you walk into the street. The apartment is cozy, yet fully equipped with everything you could need or want- this apartment is nestled within huge flowering and palm trees. The decor is welcoming and they have included some great finishing touches, like a selection of coffee table books, magazines, games, water, fruit, an abundance of towels, hangars, etc. Lots of great art on the walls-- check out the lithograph near the doors in the bedroom. Trendy furniture, vintage and otherwise. Even tiny drumsticks used as a keychain. Clearly, Janine has a really good eye and a flair for making a small-ish space very livable. The space is definitely good for 2-4 people, however, since there are two futons in the living area.
I wish we had a longer stay there. I would have liked to have gotten to know that neighborhood better-- there is a lot within a short distance including the Beachwood Cafe and other places that looked like they were worth checking out. You can also walk or bike ride to Griffith Park and Hollywood Blvd, plus drive to almost anywhere because the space is centrally located. Keep in mind, traffic is always pretty awful in Los Angeles, so staying in a location as well located as this relieves some of that stress.

Also, the house is in back of the main house, and Janine and Larry give you as much privacy as you want. That said, they seem so nice, I wish I had the opportunity to talk to them a bit more (but we couldn't bc we were only there for two nights).

We hope we'll be able to return to stay again!
