Laurel Canyon

Overall it was great. I ended up staying only 1 night instead of 2 due to a cancelled flight.The drive and subsequent parking would be the only negative for me .... navigating a narrow dirt road with steep cliffs and no turnouts can be a bit stressful.

I can't rate this stay highly enough. A stunning location and an exceptionally welcoming host. Beautiful view over LA and the immediately surrounding canyons. Lots of places to sit comfortably outside and relax, whether looking over the canyons or over the large, heated pool. Perfect stay.

Top of the World Says it All

Unique and amazing location at the end of a winding drive on the top of a ridgeline of beautiful Laurel Canyon. This cozy room, with a private bath, extends to its own patio and veranda/pool overlooking gorgeous views on both sides looking down the canyon. Coffee on the patio watching the sunrise was fantastic. The hostess was warm and welcoming and everything about our stay was top notch. We look forward to coming back another time.

Unique but not for me

Found room to be small, smaller than standard hotel room. French doors would not open. Pool would be lovely but poorly maintained. Hot tub not available. Storm proceeded visit but stayed 3 nights. Outdoor furniture old. Road nightmare. Narrow. Dangerous. Closed in areas. Must turn car around in parking spot on edge of cliff. Hesitate to go out in evening secondary to road. Would not rent this property again.

Amazing property with astounding views!

My wife and I loved staying here so much and our host Shida was lovely. There when you need her, not when you don’t. An incredibly quiet neighborhood with amazing views from the hill of downtown, Griffith Observatory and so much more. The pool and surrounding lounge areas are amazing and the room had pretty much everything we needed. The bed was also incredibly comfortable. A few things to note: the roads up the hill are windy and narrow and the last road to the house is a single lane. The good news is that cars are good at backing up and accommodating other drivers but it can feel harrowing at times if you’re not used to it, even if you’re using rideshares. Even though the house is just a short distance to WeHo, it is not walkable at all. You’ll either need to venture out by car to get supplies or just order UberEats and Postmates like we did. It’s not totally clear from the photos, but while this room does have its own entrance, it is part of the owner’s main house. Having said that, we could hardly even tell they were home — we had a ton of peace and quiet. Loved staying here and definitely look forward to staying again!

Beautiful Stay with Lovely Host

We had such an amazing time at Shida's. It's literally a Hollywood Hills oasis with incredible sweeping views ranging from Downtown to Griffith, all of Hollywood and Beverly Hills and all the way to Santa Monica. You have excellent views of the ocean and can even see the port in Long Beach in detail. Even more so impressive in person than the photos already make it. Shida was a lovely host and made checking jn and out a breeze and was so friendly and kind with outstanding recommendations. We loved our stay and can only recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in an amazing location.
