RIDE THE ELEVATOR TOWER TO THE HIGHTOWER HIDEAWAY!

I don't know why it took me so long to write this review. I rented this place out for my boyfriends 25th birthday and it was the best place I every stayed at. The views were breathtaking, it was clean and everything we needed was available to us. We had so much fun that weekend and felt right at home is this beautiful hideaway in the hills. Douglas greeted me at my arrival and he was so kind and very helpful giving me ideas of places to take my hubby for his birthday. This was one of the best vacations we ever had and we are constantly talking about, "that one weekend in that amazing home." I would stay here again and again. It is well worth the money especially if you want to go to the Hollywood Bowl which is right around the corner from this lovely home.

I think what my bf loved most is the owner of the home is a composer/producer and so is my bf so seeing the owners plaques on his office wall made him feel right at home.


Thank you again for everything.

Our family of 4 chose this home for its unique character and spectacular views. We were not disappointed. The whole neighborhood was very cool. The homes in the hills are close together but they were situated to be extremely private. From the deck and windows, you can see Hollywood and the LA skyscrapers in the distance but are still surrounded by a natural landscape of various trees, cacti and bougainvillea. The location is walking distance to Hollywood and we could reach Hollywood & Highland in 15 minutes and walk either way to Grauman’s Chinese Theater, the Hollywood walk of fame/stars, restaurants, shops, etc. It is uphill on the way back, but it as great exercise! We saw a few “interesting” people on Hollywood Blvd but felt perfectly safe in this neighborhood since it is a bit of a walk from the main drag and the buildings on the hillside are only accessible by the elevator and/or many stairs. The home interior is a blend of old retro style and modern updates. Bedrooms are a comfortable size with good quality linens, and the master has a large TV and AC unit (not needed) while the other BR had a desk to set up our laptop, and my kids, 11 & 13, had no problems sharing the sofa bed. The LR is on the smaller size and the modern chairs are comfortable but not the best for a family of four to watch TV – not a big deal since my husband and I spent our time on the deck enjoying the incredible weather and views! The home is well stocked with supplies and a nice washer and dryer. Being used to the summer heat/humidity in VA, I was concerned that the un-shaded deck area would be too hot to enjoy. I imagine it gets hot during the late AM/early PM, however, since we explored LA during the day and returned in the late afternoon, it was comfortable to sit out on the deck and enjoy a cocktail and relax. There is also a dining table and seating for 4 on the deck that is not clear from the photos at the time of this review. The owner’s representatives, Rowena & Douglas were great to deal with and our security deposit was refunded within 48 hours of check out. Douglas met us upon arrival to show us around the house, explain the parking/garage space and the elevator access. I can’t imagine staying in a stuffy over-priced hotel room when you can choose this unique home and experience what it would feel like to live in the legendary Hollywood Hills. If our travels ever bring us back to LA, I would rent here again.

We found this spot after a thorough search of hotels in the area - this place made our family vacation much better and allowed us to have separate space!! Large deck and tremendous views. Rowena and Douglas were super easy to deal with and very friendly / helpful. Great value !!
