Artistic Haven in Hollywood with Pool, Hot Tub, Cabana, and Garden

Exclusive, quiet, and private. As featured in Jones Around the World (Best Airbnbs in Los Angeles)

Get ready to be charmed when you stay in our beautifully appointed and exceptional artistic hideaway, just a 10-minute walk from Grauman's Chinese Theatre in the heart of Hollywood. Enjoy sleeping in a custom-made queen-size bed by French-American owner and sculptor/photographer/filmmaker Pascal Giacomini, who hand-built many of the space's delightful and unique metal and wood furnishings. Completely renovated spacious studio apartment with separate sleeping area and private entrance. Gorgeous new bathroom with marble walls and stone tile floor. Grounds and apartment filled with sculptures and art from Haiti, Papua New Guinea, Brazil, Bali, and Thailand. Our main house has been operating as a private (by appointment) art gallery for over 30 years. (The only reason we don't call this a small one bedroom is because we chose to separate the bedroom from living area with curtains instead of a door cause we like the flow better!)

This is not a shared space, it is your own private apartment that is the downstairs unit of the main house. You are welcome to use the backyard, pool, hot tub, and cabana.

Centrally located with many restaurants and the best margaritas in town, all within walking distance. 10-minute walk to Runyon Canyon for spectacular hiking. 5-10 min drive to groceries, shopping, restaurants. 35-40 min drive to the beach. So much to do here.

Parking permit provided free.

Great Place to Stay in Hollywood
Carine and Pascal were wonderful hosts! When I had trouble getting the directions to the location, they emailed me the directions. The directions to check-in were perfect and had pictures with wording to direct us as needed. Other items in the apartment were also labeled making it easy to know what to do. Carine also emailed me a list of suggestions to do and restaurants to visit, which was very helpful. We ate out 3 nights and every restaurant was great (Electric Owl, Bossa Nova, and Aroma). The location is great as it's easy to get around using the buses or the metro, such as right up to the door of the Griffith Observatory! Other sites are in walking distance, the Walk of Fame and Grauman's (now TCL) Chinese Theater. The place is colorfully decorated, and the bathroom is very nicely done. The bed was comfortable, and every appliance worked perfectly. The hot tub was a definite plus! Thank you Carine and Pascal for a wonderful stay!

Very nice place
We spent 9 nights and would not hesitate to stay here again. The location worked very well for us. The space was clean and comfortable. Thanks to the clear directions and good communication of the hosts the self check in process was very easy. Parking on their street was no problem. Carine and Pascal were friendly, helpful and very responsive. Just a heads up that there are a few steps down to the unit which may be tricky if you have mobility issues but for most people it’s no problem.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding, and we really enjoyed staying here. The space was clean, inviting, and unique -- we really enjoyed living amidst art (even using one piece as a hanger for my jacket!). The exterior space was also lovely. We would definitely stay here again.

My wife & I spent 4 nights in this wonderful space. The space is very well appointed & the hosts were very gracious. We loved the art in and around the apartment, house & backyard, and enjoyed the gazebo every evening for a bit of relaxation. The neighborhood is wonderful - an oasis in the middle of W. Hollywood! We will definitely stay again when we return to LA.

Fabulous Artsy studio in WeHo
We loved our stay. Carine & Pascal were terrific hosts. The unit was just as it appeared online. Anyone who knows LA, this is “the it” neighborhood. Within walking to Runyon Canyon…it’s also a historic district so walking around all of the Los Angeles bungalows was a treat.

Good location if you don’t plan to ‘stay in’
I met my husband in LA for a long weekend to visit friends and celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary after spending a few days at a conference on the West coast. Booking our non-refundable stay was easy and a welcome email with instructions gave us everything we needed to check-in and what to expect. My plan was to have a day of relaxation and recovery before hitting the town but on the day we arrived I received an email from the VRBO owner that there “might be some digging in the backyard” which would make the backyard unusable. When we arrived we found the entire backyard (located just outside of the door to the VRBO) completely unusable due to the owners having a pool installed. While not the end of the world, it was disappointing and soured our experience. Also, there were so many flies inside! Not sure if this was because of the digging but regardless it was annoying. Overall, we made the best of it but had I known the cozy backyard was unavailable I would not have booked it as there were plenty of other similar options available. This VRBO is in a good location with easy parking however and would be a good “landing spot” for those not planning on spending much time at the home.

Just as described, perfect for a couple. Neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe, parking was easy on the street right in front of the house. Hosts were lovely and helpful. Central location for LA sightseeing. Plenty amenities within walking distance. Very clean. Only (very slight) downside was not great water pressure in the shower, but it was fine. Would definitely stay again. Really enjoyed the yard for morning coffee and the hot tub at night.

Perfect Spring Break
My daughter and I were planning a trip from Michigan to LA for spring break. We found this amazing apartment on VRBO and immediately thought "that's the place for us!" It's super cute and located centrally to everything we wanted to do. We took a 32-mile bike tour featuring the homes of the rich and famous, plus Santa Monica and Venice Beach; visited Little Tokyo where we enjoyed the Six Taste Food tour and stamped the Ireicho at the Japanes American Museum; went to Disneyland; strolled the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and dined at In & Out burger (both of those walking distance from the apartment). We wrapped up with a taping of the Jennifer Hudson Show. The owners provided excellent instruction for check-in and check-out, even when we arrived at 4:00 a.m. due to travel delays, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and fresh coffee. We highly recommend! Thanks again.

Cute backyard stay in Hollywood, good value for area!
This place is charming and encapsulate fun, quirky Hollywood. It is a unique stay in a centralized area that I rented for my parents for a weekend trip. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a little more space, an outdoor area and uniqueness/charm compared to staying in a hotel in this area. The hosts are very kind and easy to reach. A few things to note for further description of the unit- not bad, just different than what we were expecting. This is a studio, not a one bedroom apartment. The bed area does include a curtain that closes to section it off as seen in the photos, but it is not a separate room. This unit is located downstairs in a basement style apartment underneath a deck off the main house. There is still plenty of light in the unit and a lot of nice windows/window coverings, but you walk down a few stairs to get to the unit and standing up in the unit you will be looking out at the level of the ground. The bathroom and kitchen were very nice and the access to laundry was a great plus! My parents really enjoyed their stay and I would recommend this cute oasis in the city. Thanks Carine and Pascal!

We had a great stay at Carine's apartment. The place is set back from the street and very quiet. There is a beautiful back yard that is accessible to the guests. Paintings inside the apartment and objects of art, mostly made of metal, make this listing truly "artsy". Will be back!
