My husband had a week-long conference in downtown LA. We lived here years ago, and thought it would be nice to bring our kids for a visit/vacation while he worked. Friends from Oregon joined us, so we were 9 total. If you need a large house near downtown, they are few and far between. This one fits the bill, and is super clean and comfortable as well!
That it is near the Griffith Observatory, Hollywood sign, Walk of Fame, etc made it even better. We spent our days sightseeing with our friends, and our afternoons in the pool and jacuzzi. Nights, we felt comfortable leaving our teenaged kids in charge of the younger ones while the adults went out for nice dinners -- the property is gated, with 24-hour neighborhood patrol, so we felt very safe doing this.
We did cook breakfast and some lunches every day as the kitchen was well stocked. Check-in and check-out processes went smoothly, and Pascal (the owner) was great a communicating. Would stay here again!
