Tucked into the Hollywood Hills just off iconic Mulholland Drive, this private, character-filled guesthouse is surrounded by lush greenery and scenic views. Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with sunny patios, a vibrant living space, and a peaceful setting—close to everything, yet away from the crowds.

A curated collection of books on Hollywood and the art of filmmaking, along with thoughtfully collected memorabilia, adds a distinctive sense of place.

Surrounded by tropical landscaping, this approximately 900 sq ft retreat features two bedrooms (one king, one queen), a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and multiple outdoor areas for relaxing or dining. The bright living area includes a distinctive fireplace, original local artwork, and a pullout sofa with a queen-size mattress.

The primary bedroom offers comfort and natural light, while the second bedroom opens directly to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

High-speed internet, reserved off-street parking—with a glimpse of the Hollywood Sign from the driveway—and thoughtful details throughout make it ideal for couples, families, or professionals seeking privacy and a calm, inspiring atmosphere.
Many guests return for extended stays.

Located in the Hollywood Hills, you’re just minutes from top attractions: the Hollywood Bowl (5 min), Universal Studios (6 min), the Walk of Fame and Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Blvd (7 min), Beverly Hills (20 min), and the Pacific Ocean (45 min). Enjoy nearby hiking trails, including Runyon Canyon, as well as easy access to downtown Los Angeles and Dodger Stadium. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, along with shopping and dining at The Grove, are also within easy reach.

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

    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.

    Cute little guest house. In some ways, it is close to everything. It is not grab a cup of coffee around the corner close; you will have to drive down the hill. But it's otherwise convenient to all the usual LA sites. I was warned by others that living off of Mulholland is a pain; that it is impossible to get out on the road. This was NOT the case for me--very easy to get onto Mulholland.

    My teenage daughter and I stayed here while we were in town for Disneyland, Universal, and general Hollywood. There is a great view of the Hollywood sign out front, along with a cool scenic overlook of the city a few minutes down the mountain. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, within about 12 minutes from groceries and restaurants, and Universal Studios.We liked that Frances, our host, lived on the property and would be available to help us out if we needed it- but we also had complete privacy. The space was clean, the beds were very comfortable and the shower felt amazing after a busy day. It's a smaller space, yet it was still very spacious and somehow it had everything you could possibly need for your trip: bandaids, sunblock, a fan, a cooler, a picnic basket, games, books, coffee, and we estimated maybe 700 DVDs! If I ever find myself back in California with one other person, I will easily stay here again. Thank you, Frances!

If you choose to stay in, there are over 1200 DVDs and shelves full of books on Hollywood to enjoy. I especially loved the bright, eclectic art and the lovely tile work.
