We rented this home from January 5-9, 2013. The home is nicely situated in a Hollywood neighborhood close to the night life on Hollywood Boulevard and a short drive to the beach. We were pleased with our stay and enjoyed the time there. We suggest the following improvements:
1. A little more furniture in the house, especially on warm days. Also some reading lamps and comfortable reading chairs. Also, put a small table in the kitchen.
2. Subscribe to LIVE TV, not just Apple. Need cable or satellite for live tv coverage. Its a shame to have alll those flat screens and not be able to watch anything. We tried some on demand programs, but we were required to have a security code, which we didn't have.
3. Bram's manager was very friendly and accomodating, but he arrived with only one key for the nine of us and eventlually put key pads on the two cottages outside and the main door. We also had no wash cloths and luiz went out and bought them for us.
4. Needs dish soap, dish rags and dish towels.
5. Outdoor patio was lovely but sofa furniture is covered, old and dated.
6. For perfect environment, put in a pool heater.
