Best place ever

This little place in the Hills was absolutely unreal! We found the apartment to be open and bright! The views of downtown LA were spectacular as the sun went down. Very clean, and just had a great vibe! We’ll be booking again on our next trip to LA!!!

It was nice except the owner stays on other side of house and has doors that are accessible to them in house and the dogs running around barking infront of those doors And they only have access to the A/C and they didn’t wanna put it on and it was HOT…. Other than that it’s a nice place nice area

A peaceful retreat

Great place for solo contemplation, which is what I used it for. I imagine it would also be a lovely romantic getaway. So quiet! The garden was delightful, I saw a deer eating ivy in it one night, and yet it was only 12 minutes away from the hustle of Hollywood. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great View, but...

First, the view of downtown is "as advertised" and beautiful!! The space matches the pictures online and everything seemed to work. Everything you may want to explore is within 20-30 minutes, and the drive up Gower gives you a picture perfect view of the Hollywood sign. The location is amazing, but I would not stay in "Secret Stairs 2" again for the following reasons. I believe there are 2 units for rent on the property and both are attached to a "main" house. From what I could determine, Apt 2 (the one I rented) has the view, and Apt 1 has privacy. Our unit shared an entire wall with the owners separated by a closet-like door. The owner(s) was respectful of the time regarding noise - quiet from about 9pm - 9am except for occasional dog noise. However, we could hear conversations through the wall as if the people were in the same room, and we could also smell pot in the unit during the day and at night. Also, check to see that coffee is in the tin when you arrive, because our tin was empty. To be fair, I did not report this to the management company because there was nothing to be done. More coffee would not have mattered because the time to use it had passed; reporting the noise was not fixable; and the pot smell - well it is legal in California, so...The rental description needs to specify that unit 2 is attached to the owners house, especially for the price charged.

Unique and fun but wouldn't stay here again

Pros: view, location, character of the place. Cons: owners' barking dog in upper unit, lack of AC, lack of electrical outlets, parking (not sure there's a fix for that though), outdoor motion detector light that lights up the bedroom at night.
