What an amazing, unique and wonderful home! It’s an experience in and of itself. It’s extremely well cared for on the inside as well as the outside. It’s like a personal and private retreat in the Hollywood Hills, & the old days of Hollywood. Although, if you don’t like stairs, then beware. There are many steps to get to the front door. And there are many steps to get from the guest bedroom to the bathroom.But, if you are fit and not afraid of stairs, this is a very worthwhile experience! One you will absolutely cherish!

This is a beautiful house in the Hollywood Hills and our family enjoyed our stay. From the beautiful grounds, the well appointed kitchen with Viking appliances, to the spacious home, we were very pleased with our stay. Very clean and safe area. Lily and her team were excellent in communication and responding to a minor maintenance issue with the garage door.

We really loved our stay at this home. The house itself is obviously an older home, but it has been very thoughtfully updated. They kept the original charm of the home, but have added a sound system throughout the house, updated lighting, remodeled bathrooms and a beautifully updated kitchen with high-end appliances. This home also has pretty much all items that you could need--it's very well stocked. Also, they are very responsive to questions. I had a couple of questions about where to find things and how to do things and they responded very quickly with solutions and answers. The home is located in an ideal neighborhood. It's very private and the surrounding homes are beautifully maintained. We felt very safe. Also, this is located close to Dodgers stadium, great restaurants, museums, and shopping. It's really ideal. And, did I mention the amazing landscaping? I felt like I should be sitting outside whenever I could at this beautiful home. The landscaping and multiple patios are exceptional. My family plans to stay at this home agian in the future.

Gorgeous!
Such a beautiful and comfortable home. Spotlessly clean inside, with expertly maintained gardens outside. Just gorgeous! As mentioned by other reviewers (thank you!), there are a lot of stairs both inside and outside, but it was so worth it. I personally preferred having lots of steps to get to the front door rather than having to navigate a steep driveway. Yes the streets in the neighborhood narrow and winding, but again so worth it to stay in this unique house.

Beautiful and quiet
We had a very nice stay, the house itself was beautiful and we had a lot of space to relax among really unique architecture. If you’re not used to driving on steep hills and narrow roads that really shouldn’t be 2-way, you might have some trouble here :) It was definitely beneficial to have a garage! But other than that, it was close enough to everything and we felt very safe staying here.

Good family house
Eclectic 1920s Hollywood house. Beautiful gardens and sitting areas. Very good kitchen. Two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, the third is a bit of a hike up some stairs to a powder room/Bath. The host (Danny) was great.
The house does have some persistent musty smells. Completely bizarre neighborhood with beautiful homes next to shacks. Thirty-five steps from the parking area to the front door....not for those with knee issues. we really enjoyed it.

A wonderful oasis
The property is a beautifully remodeled 1920’s bohemian oasis in the Hollywood Hills, close to Capitol records, Hollywood Bowl and Universal Studios. My family and I spent a long weekend here. Each of us had privacy and rest as the bedrooms are spread out with their own bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped. We were able to relax and enjoy our time together and also get to local attractions in reasonable time. The property manager is very responsive and lovely. We would stay again and explore in the future.
