It was cozy and very cute:) my husband and I had a great time:)!
Excellent location, communicative host.
This quiet little hideaway was absolutely perfect! It was so cozy, and convenient. Craig was an amazing host, and so helpful. Our trip was amazing mainly thanks to the time he took to send us a list of all the awesome places nearby, and things to do. We had a blast! Can’t wait to do it again.
Stayed for about 2 weeks here in the summer. This cute little spot is a nice quiet spot in the heart of Hollywood. The front door deck area was a lovely place to sit and felt very removed from the sometimes chaotic-feeling streets a few blocks away. Was a pretty easy drive to UCLA, where we went daily. Parking is pretty easy and straightforward by urban street parking standards. Craig arranged a guest parking pass for the neighborhood. Craig was very responsive and clearly works hard to keep the place up well.
Craig was a great host! He wasn't there to meet us, but had his house guest (who was also great, and very flexible when our flight was 40 minutes late) show us in. When we needed a parking pass, we got it. When we needed more pillow cases, we got them. Communication was very easy and Craig made sure our stay was enjoyable. He was a delight! The place itself is a bit rustic. There is no ac (luckily we had cool nights, and the open windows were plenty sufficient). The sign said it was ant seaon which we did not see, but we saw lots of spiders/spider webs--living room, kitchen, shower. Spiders are not a thing we fear, so we mostly let them be, but be aware that they may be there. The shower, towels, and bed are very basic--nothing of luxury/pampering, but they worked. The spot was great--easy access to Hollywood and Sunset Blvd, and a cheap Uber ride to any other place. We fell in love with LA and were happy Craig was there to help us!
This place is central to everything and is a nice layout with nice amenities. Perfect for a family of 3 or 2 travel friends.
This was a very enjoyable stay! The thing I would recommend the most about this was the kitchen. It was so great to be able to cook and save money! The property was very nice and Craig was great to deal with. This was my first time ever using VRBO and Craig was very communicative and helped me through the entire process! We had a wonderful trip and a great stay!
Craig is a wonderful host and the location/convenience of the property is fantastic!
Craig’s property is wonderful. Great location and has everything you need. Craig is super helpful and knows his area really well if you want local recommendations. Parking is easy. Wi-Fi good. Well appointed kitchen. I’d definitely return. Thanks for letting me stay.
The bed + fold-out couch was great for my friend and me! The guest house is cozy & Craig is a great and super responsive host. The area is great & made it easy to walk places to avoid driving/parking. Thank you Craig for your suggestions for things to do/eat in the area and for your kindness in checking in on how things were going. We had a great time & would stay here again.
What a find! I booked this space for visiting family from out of the country because I had no room in my own small, Hollywood apartment. I wanted a space where they could feel at home rather than a cold and noisy hotel on Hollywood Blvd. Craig was a hospitable, friendly, and patient host. (I say patient because I was a bit frazzled and not always clear in my messaging while coordinating the check-in time with him. He communicated with me in an easygoing manner and worked with me to get it sorted.) I had the great pleasure of meeting him a few minutes before my family arrived to check-in. He provided clear instructions on the use of all items. My family especially appreciated the clearly marked labels around the space for the lighting and other electronics. (What may be obvious for us may not be for folks from outside the U.S. Craig clearly recognizes this, and his incredible attention to detail was a huge plus!) The space was clean and comfortable and homey. The kitchen was fully equipped with standard size fridge, oven, microwave, etc., so my family was able to make and enjoy meals with ease. The bed was comfortable, and the space remained cool without the need for turning on the AC despite the very hot days during their stay. What truly surprised me was how quiet it was. Because I live a few blocks away, I’m familiar with how noisy our community is. I was a bit worried that my family wouldn’t be able to rest at night having come from a quiet, fishing village. It was never an issue. Craig curated a space that uses natural barriers to block the noise. (I was tempted to have my family stay in my apartment while I stayed in the rental. Maybe next time.) I’m grateful to Craig for providing a safe resting place for my family in between our outings. It’s a special bonus for me to have met a VRBO host that is also a wonderful part of our community (rather than a faceless real estate investor). I hope to book this space in the future. Thank you, Craig!
