My wife, son and I spent a week here and loved every minute of the stay! The views were astounding and even my cousin, who lives in West Hollywood, was amazed with the views.

James and Lisa were very communicative every step and delivered every promise. The photos on VRBO were a very good representation of the property with the following differences:

1) the view cannot be captured accurately in photos - it's much better in person!

2) the location is great. While it's not truly a walk to everything due to the hilltop location, you are literally a 10 minute drive to the Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, Sunset strip and West Hollywood. It's a 30/50 minute drive (traffic dependent) to Venice, LAX, downtown LA and Malibu.

3) The shower is very cool

4) no bugs! We come from the Midwest where mosquitos are horrible. Here, we slept with the 30 foot window open and had no problems.

5) James and Lisa are extremely professional. We met James briefly upon arrival and he was very cordial and fun to talk with.

6) The bed was comfortable.

7) James was very responsive to questions and requests throughout our stay.

8) on the ever so slightly negative side -

8.a) some of the outdoor linens were slightly sun worn (discolored) but they functioned perfectly. Oh yes, the daybed on the patio was really relaxing both day and night.

8.b) the hot tub needed to be run a day or so to get clean but, again, was of very minor concern.

8.c) the air conditioning was a window type and in the bedroom. Coming from hot and humid Chicago, we thought this would be a problem but it, the three fans and the cool nights were perfect and we actually used blankets to stay warm.

Would I stay here again? Yes, in an instant! The owner is wonderful and it's one of the most unique places I have stayed in all of our journeys. My wife actually stayed home for a day simply to enjoy the view and solitude while I took my son to visit a college.
