I LOVED staying here. It was a side of LA I had truly never seen. I was skeptical about the view being so amazing, but it was EXACTLY as the picture. Breathtaking.The only thing I can say is the stovetop is a bit finnicky. The gas lights really quickly with a large flame, so stand a little back :) I would 150% stay again, and probably will!

The space was just as pictured. Great location. I was told I was alone with the main older tenant in the house only to find a 20 something male in a unit on the property. As a single woman I couldn't leave the door open to enjoy the view and had to keep blinds closed as he walked by. I also had to take steps to try and secure the front open window with no lock mechanism. There was a smell of pot that was overwhelming in the apartment even after I talked to management. This too away the charm and feeling of safety.

Uncomfortable set up with tenants on shared property, additional costs are exorbitant in comparison to the nightly rate.

Great hideaway
This place is cute and clean and has all the amenities you would need. It's up in the Hollywood hills so be aware that driving and parking on the street is a challenge, but it's doable. Views cannot be beat. The only complaint I had was we smelled weed almost constantly day and night coming through the vents. That's the only reason I didn't give the property 5 stars. I'm aware weed is legal in CA, but this was insane. Luckily it's always so beautiful there, so when we came home everyday we just opened windows and doors to let it air out.
