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.

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.

Beautiful place
There can’t be a more beautiful view. The ambience of the place was so unique and fun. We loved it. Only complaint I had was the owner controlled the thermostat and it was too warm. keeping the sliding doors open and screens closed helped at night, but was too warm during the day. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We had a nice couple of days here. Would recommend this place. (Dont bring to big of a car.) Nice and clean and huge fridge. Really cosy diner at the bottom of the hill and alså a nice hike to the Hollywood sign at the top of the hill (you have to park a little distance away and walk the rest of the way.

Perfect stay in the Hollywood Hills
Our son is at Gnomon, a college specializing in animation and computer aided design in the heart of Hollywood. Our stay at this lovely one bedroom apartment high in the hills but only 10 minutes or less from our son was absolutely perfect. We love to hike and less than 200 yards from this place was a trail that led down to the Hollywood reservoir or up to Mulholland drive. The view was lovely, the night air cool and the surroundings tranquil. one couldn't ask for anything more.
