Absolutely wonderful stay here! The property is a beautiful, stylish, clean, safe, and comfortable haven in the Hollywood hills. I hope to be back and would recommend it to family and friends. Walking distance (15min) from Runyon Canyon trailhead. The hostess is exceptional as well! One of the highlights during the stay for me was watching hummingbirds in the garden.

Absolutely amazing place with beautiful views!

My friends (including one infant) and I stayed at Frances' house for a long weekend and we LOVED it. The location is very cool and offers beautiful views of the adjacent hills. It's so close to everything but just removed enough that the environment is very peaceful. Frances was super accommodating and communicative -- any questions we had were answered immediately! And the space itself was so cool and charming.
