We arrived at "Casa Sierra Bonita" on Tuesday 6th October late in the afternoon to find all the windows open and the apartment seemed light and fresh. However this was not the case when we closed the windows. The unit had an old fusty smell which was most noticeable when you opened the closets where we were expected to hang our clothes.
While making the bed the following morning we were shocked by the amount of stains on the back of the bed cover. We decided to use the covers from the single beds but they were no better. I would suggest to you Scott that instead of trying to clean these covers you should burn them and invest in new bedding.
The cleanliness of the apartment left a lot to be desired as it was very dusty, I was able to write my name on the dining room table in dust. The portable window air conditioner in the bedrooms is old and noisy so if you need to use it don’t plan on getting any sleep.
One of the deciding factors in renting this unit was that it had broadband internet. I tried to log onto the internet late on the Tuesday evening only to find out that it wasn’t working. I sent Scott a text informing him that neither the phone nor the internet was working. When I received no reply by the Thursday afternoon I called Scott on his cell and all he said was “Oh is it not working yet”. He told me I would need to go down to the basement to reset the system. There was no light in the basement as the bulb had blown so I had to drive to the store and buy a flashlight. I did as Scott instructed and disconnected the system in the basement so as to reboot it, but it still did not work.
I called Scott again on his cell on Friday morning and left him a message telling him that the internet & phone was still down and that I needed this sorted out ASAP as I had work to do.
It was late Saturday afternoon when he returned my call and again we went through the procedure of rebooting the system but still it did not work. Scott then said that there was nothing else he could do as he was in Palm Springs but he could arrange for the phone company to come on Monday but we would need to be there. At this point we had had enough of Scott and "Casa Sierra Bonita" so we left a day early on Monday and headed off to Las Vegas. And finally it took 3 emails to Scott to have my security deposit refunded. Needless to say I would not rent a property from Scott again!!

What a fantastic apartment! It's like a hideaway tucked behind everything you need. The place is really big, which suited us perfectly. My mom and her sister were comfortable in the twin room and we were completely happy with the baby in our room. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed. Each morning, we took a stroll to the farmers market for coffee and breakfast, loving being in the warm LA sun. This location can't be beat. It's an easy drive to my family in Santa Monica, just a few minutes to Beverly Hills, and there's tons of convenient shopping, including a Whole Foods to stock your pantry. We can't wait to come back to Casa Sierra Bonita! Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay here. We felt like part of the neighborhood.

A fantastic location. We felt like we lived in LA. Our experience of LA would have been not so good had we stayed in Downtown. The location of this apartment was fabulous. Within minutes drive of Universal Studios, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Hollywood sign, CBS Studios, Farmers Market... just to name a few. The apartment itself was well equipped and suited my partner and I, along with her 2 sisters who stayed in the twin room. Will definitely return if we're ever back in LA. Thanks Scott.

Casa Bonita is a charming retreat right in the heart of Los Angeles action! The property is adorned and decorated tastefully with a wonderful flow to the floor plan.
Scott (owner) is meticulous with the property and has provided excellent client services.
Our only regret is that we did not book the unit for a longer stay. It was a fabulous place to come home to at the end of a busy day.
Any guest will not regret their stay here. Thank you for the experience!

Hi Scott,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in LA thanks to such a well equipped and comfortable apartment. The place was spotless and beautifully decorated.
We stayed with our 3 year old and 5 month old baby and our stay was seamless. We had no problems finding the key, however negotiating that drive way does take some practice! We never envisaged being able to have windows open in LA as the place has such great security too. We didn't see a neighbour and the street was so quiet. We will definitely stay again as this place was home away from home.
Kind Regards,
The Gould Family

This is a super rental. We, a family of 5 rented this property for two weeks - it was wonderful. Everything you could need, lots of space, in a quiet area but close to lots... museums, shopping etc. We hope to be back again soon and will recommend you to anyone we know travelling to LA. Many thanks, Dorothy

This is a pearl in L.A.! dont miss to stay in this really beautiful and with a lot of love to details designed apartment.
Beware you dont want to leave again, because you feel so so comfortable here. We were three people staying for two weeks, and had plenty of room for cooking, dining together at the really beautiful table in the dining-room or just relaxing in the cosy-clean livingroom.
One thing I have to mention in particular is the all-over color-scheme in this apartment. You can tell someone really has a hand for interior design.
The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but you will have all the L.A. attractions 5 minutes away only.
The famous Sunset and Hollywood Blvd with the "Walk of Fame", of course the "Chinese Theatre" and lots and lots of events around your Hollywood Stars on these streets alone.
Melrose Ave. with nice stores and the best "Johnny Rockets" in the area.
Right around the corner on beverlyBlvd./kings rd. is the "kings cafe" for breakfast or lunch, also the L.A.-style diner at beverly and genesee almost next to it.
"The Grove" and "Beverly Mall" to finish your shopping stops and wring out your credit cards.
Plus the "Newsroom" cafe for lunch with a good view across the street at the "Ivy's" and all the big time stores around on Robertson Blvd. with lots of papparazzo action for free (if you are there on starlet shopping time).
Your two options: Enjoy L.A. here or buy your own house in the same street.
A special thanks goes out to the owners of this apartment. They both were more than nice and helpful to us - any help you may need is just a phonecall away.

This property is absolutely stunning in such a lovely neighborhood! Scott is a pleasure to work with and he provides you a home away from home. I highly recommend this location for anyone wanting to be close to great attractions and hot spots in the LA/Hollywood/Beverly Hills area, but still want privacy. I would definitely rent from again. Thank you, Scott!!!
Owner's Response: Thank you, Gena! You were wonderful guest to have. Come again anytime.
