Cozy, clean, convenient

We all know that Craig's list has the good and the bad. But I gambled and won with Kirby's Sunset Boulevard bungalow! Kirby is an ace innkeeper, and the bungalow is just great. Private, cozy and SO much better than a hotel (which was why I was searching). Full kitchen, gorgeous bedroom and bathroom.
You are truly in the heart of the city. I recommend the bungalow to anyone and everyone. I'd go back in a heartbeat if my travels take me to Hollywood again.

We visited in Mid September and this was not by any strech our first visit to LA and Hollywood. The bungalow was perfect for my wife and myself in that it was safe, very comfortable, within walking distance of the major sights and attractions of Hollywood such as the Bowl and also a great place to be based within striking distance of the beaches, Beverley Hills etc. It was a little oasis and having WiFi access was a real bonus. Our host could could not do enough, but was not intrusive, and gave several good recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try. We'll most definitely book again when in LA.

I've been in the Sunset Bungalow last August and EVERYTHING was PERFECT! First of all (it never happens) the descriptions on this site fill perfecly what you will get one time there. The house is so comfortable, the position nice and quite (but close to hot spots)!, new fornitures and you'll find everything you need. And, last but not least, Kirby (the owner) is a professional and serious person you can count on.


I've been many times in LA in the past, but this one was my best!

We were absolutely thrilled with this wonderful guest house. The location is excellent, just a short walk away from many Hollywood highlights. We were welcomed with a fantastic letter from Kirby outlining places to visit, restaurants, theatres etc. He was very accommodating and stopped by to introduce himself and make sure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean and spacious and we even had our own private patio! We definitely will recommend this property to family and friends. Thanks for a great Hollywood experience.

I had a great time staying at the Sunset Boulevard Bungalow! This place has got everything you'd ever dream of: very quiet location, walking distance to everything you need (which is something pretty rare in Los Angeles!). Kirby is a very nice and welcoming guest!! I've found the place to stay whenever I go back to Los Angeles!

This was our 4th visit to LA (to visit our son who lives here) and we were so glad we found Kirby's bungalow this time for our 10 day visit in June 09. Everything was perfect. No complaints whatsoever. Kirby is a great host and very accommodating, from our original enquiry and booking, to information and suggestions supplied. The bungalow is great. (why would you stay in a hotel!!) His attention to detail to make your stay so enjoyable is evident from the most comfortable bed and pillows, fluffy towels, kitchen amenities etc. and all very clean and tidy. Great to have a laundry and car space too. Everything one needs - big flatscreen tv, comfy lounge, an outdoor patio, and in a great spot, so close to Sunset and Hollywood boulevarde, but no noise as it is in a residential street. Previous guests leave food etc. in pantry and fridge which his housekeeper checks for freshness. So on arrival you will find you can have a drink, a snack, etc. Kirby is on hand when you need him, but is unobtrusive. He obviously enjoys his "guests" and takes great pride in his bungalow. There are a lot of attractions, places to eat, and a small supermarket and PO within walking distance.
Our criteria for this visit was- location, comfort, space, cleanliness, outdoor area, ambience, amenities, car space--- and Kirby's bungalow ticked all those boxes, and more than met our expectations. So nice to be able to make our own breakfast, and other meals if needs be, as it has a full kitchen with appliances. Great for Aussies to have a 'kettle' too to make that much needed cup of tea _(not a mug in the microwave which just doesnt taste the same!). So thankyou Kirby for a wonderful and most enjoyable stay - we certainly know where we will be staying next time. Can see that you are well booked up for the months ahead - word is obviously out from your previous guests - and all their comments and accolades are very well deserved. Best wishes from two contented Aussies.

What to say, our stay at the bungalow was just perfect.
You get exactly what you have expected and thanks to Kirby who is so welcoming and so helpful.
I arrived late with my children and we found the keys and everything set up so perfectly, we even found some food in the fridge and a lot of information!!!
You really feel at home, and believe big travelers such as we are, a host like Kirby is so RARE....
Thank you for those nice days there
We will probably come back soon.

We have stayed here twice so far. Our expectations were absolutely surpassed in all areas with this rental both times.
The Bungalow provides the perfect accommodations in LA for our family of 4, including our sons, both in their 20s. The central location minimizes driving time, we have plenty of parking for our 2 cars, a spacious area for the 4 of us to spread out in. It is a luxury to have a large washer and dryer and a fully stocked kitchen. To the boys’ delight, there are multitudes of cable channels on the 2 new flat-screen HDTVs, plus wireless internet. It is newer, cleaner and better cared-for than any upscale hotel we have ever stayed at. The beds are very comfortable and the amenities such as linens and pillows are brand new! This rental is immaculately furnished and decorated with care: very stylish and Hollywood Hip, yet welcoming and comfortable.The private backyard patio adds to the California Vacation feel. Even though it is in the heart of Hollywood, the Bungalow is set back from a quiet, tree-lined street and amazingly quiet. The close proximity to freeways,a nearby gym, awesome Hollywood restaurants and activities makes our L.A. living and navigating delightfully simple. It is easy to “stop at home” in between adventures. 1/2 block away is the new "it" nightspot for young stars to have their birthday bash; restaurant Citrus and nightclub Social.
As repeat guests, what we found this time was a bit of insight into what gives this place its distinct quality; it’s not the luxurious thread-count, the private patio, the dream location. It is that this host is a benevolent genius. His keen understanding of the art of hosting makes one feel comfortable and “at home”, yet pampered.His knowledge, availability, personal touches, and his genuine and generous hospitality make it clear that he cares that you have an enjoyable stay. The warm positive atmosphere he creates has now promoted a delightful “pay-it-forward” mood with many of the guests. Now when you arrive, you may be greeted with a pantry full of unopened ingredients for several meals.The fridge might surprise you with some brand new syrup for your morning pancakes and some sealed Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. I suggest you stop in before you get groceries; who knows what the last guest purchased new, ran out of time, and gifted to you?
