Make sure to turn around when you pull into the driveway to see the Hollywood sign - what a breathtaking way to start your vacation. This location can't be beat! Couple that with Frances amazing communication, amenities galore and super comfy beds and you have the perfect retreat. Literally 15 minutes from Warner Bros Studio and 10 min from Universal, my daughter and I had a great time. When I am back in LA, I will most definitely stay here again, A

I highly recommend this serene house in the Hollywood Hills. As a former resident of the area, this is the perfect spot for me to stay when I return to visit friends. The bed was comfortable and I slept very well. It’s extremely private and safe. The most appealing aspect is that it’s within walking distance to Runyon Canyon hiking.

Absolutely wonderful stay here! The property is a beautiful, stylish, clean, safe, and comfortable haven in the Hollywood hills. I hope to be back and would recommend it to family and friends. Walking distance (15min) from Runyon Canyon trailhead. The hostess is exceptional as well! One of the highlights during the stay for me was watching hummingbirds in the garden.

A peaceful and quiet retreat. The perfect location for writers or creatives. Our host, Frances, was gracious and thoughtful. Attention to every detail was taken into consideration in furnishing and stocking this efficient guest house. The decor is bright and cheery with lovely artwork. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is small but incredibly well organized. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower. Parking is afe and right outside the door. This is a great place for anyone with mobility issues as there are only one or two small steps inside and outside the unit. There is an amazing collection of DVDs and books. You could easily stay occupied here without having to leave for days. There's also a charming, private patio with plenty of seating for relaxing or having your morning coffee outside. Thoughtful additions like an earthquake kit and flashlights were appreciated. It was so peaceful and quiet, we both slept like babies. And, above all, everything was sparkling clean. Highly recommend this jewel in the Hollywood Hills.
