The guesthouse has an amazing view! It was the first reason why I rented : we drunk a beer and saw Los Angeles downtown and the hills : sooo beautiful! Second reason was to be near the Hollywood Sign and, I tought, near Santa Monica… No! It is more than 1h to get to Santa Monica by car (by Beverly Hills). Everything is far in L.A. so have a car.

The Hollywood Sign is really near, walk up on Deronda Drive 1 minute and you’ll see this big sign!

We stayed 2 nights. We were late and we couldn’t warn Robert. He was comprehensive and we could check-in easily. The studio has a beautiful look but was not very clean (dust on coffee table, on the top of the refrigerator, on the bedside table…) and need some little renovation (tiles were broken in the bathroom, the shower was yellowed, the wardrobe’s door was broken), the only cooking utensil was a wooden spoon : not helpful to flip a steak! The cutting board and the pan were very used : it’s not hygienic. The garbage was smaller. On the bed, the comforter set was dirty (spotted).

We had only 1 towel by person, we would have liked a beach towel and a parasol. A lot of old cosmetic in the shower : I don’t think it’s professional.

So the stay was passable but the price was low (106$ per night) and there is an amazing view…

And must be very careful to drive in the hills!
