I think this was our 4th stay at this conveniently located, this quiet in-law cottage is ideally near almost everything. Just a short drive to Universal City, Hollywood, Glendale. Not to mention all the fun in Toluca Lake and NoHo. We will be back!

Being this was my first Vrbo rental experience (I always stay in 4 to 5-star hotels), and having spent two previous days and sleepless freezing cold nights at a different rental in a COMPLETELY misrepresented, filthy, rundown Vrbo detached garage-conversion in the Hollywood Hills (on a $1.9M property, no less), I was more than pleasantly surprised with Gil and Holly's property. Being an ex-Angeleno, I knew the area very well, and all photos of their listing represented exactly what the rental looked like inside and offered. It was clean as a whistle, and one could tell that they cared about their property. The amenities were well thought-out and included shampoo/conditioner/body lotion, a small laundry basket by the bathroom door for used towels, a small container with drainage for dirty dishes, wonderful healthy snacks, coffee, purified water in the mini frig, two TVs, A/C controls for both the upstairs and downstairs and more. The bed was very comfortable, and the back yard/pool area, was so well-kept. Charming place, their dog was adorable (came out and sat with me on while I was sitting outside near the pool) and would stay at Holly and Gil's place again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very comfortable spot to rest my head for a few days. Beautiful garden. Unfortunately it wasn’t warm enough during my stay to use the pool but I look forward to it on my next visit. Found out friends live close by! Limited cooking options not an issue. So many great restaurants in the area. If possible, use Bob Hope airport in Burbank. Well worth any extra money to avoid LAX. Enjoy!

Our experience at the VRBO was everything we had hoped for! The space was comfortable and artsy. We had extra blankets and pillows and everything was just right, including the temperature. The space felt private and relaxing. We will stay here again when in town to visit our son! Thanks.

This is a wonderful and charming property. Quaint and well appointed it is in a quiet neighborhood that is centrally located. Nearby Toluca Lake and North Hollywood are just a short drive away. The hosts are super responsive and very knowledgeable. Of note is that while this rental does not include a kitchen, you have a small fridge, coffee and a tea kettle. Highly recommended

I spent several nights in this beautiful apartment, which is located in a charming annex to the main house of the host. The bedroom is on the second level, adding a special charm to the place. The amenities are exactly as described, and the hosts were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this accommodation!

Nice property that is exactly as listed. Bonus of driveway parking is a big deal and a great add for this listing! Owners were super friendly and accommodating. Don’t miss the bar just steps away called Idle Hour…it’s one of the best bars we’ve been to on a long time., and an easy walk. There is also a Starbucks that is open from 4:30 am - 9:00 pm just a block away. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and recommend it if looking for a N Hollywood location.

This is a great guesthouse!! It is within walking distance of restaurants and really close to a lot of amazing LA sightseeing spots! The owners were accommodating and kind. The only thing we missed was a full size fridge/freezer.

Charming Guest House
A hidden gem! This charming guest house is the perfect spot to stay while exploring the city. The private access is easy to come and go as you please. The hosts, Holly and Gil were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Great place to stay!

Love shack!
Ok, whatever the deal is with the actual history, the windows and decor are very cool. Gil and Holly are speedy communicators which is just great. Their little dogs are super cute and make it feel like home. There is a very cool restored wood beer barrel restaurant two blocks away that you won't want to miss - Idle Time-and they check for vaxx recs! Northwest within walking distance are some amazing breakfast spots. Burbank airport is my new <3 so it all worked out nicely.

Perfect Hideaway So Close to All LA has to Offer!
This quiet and well appointed (large) guest house is ideally located to reach any LA destination easily by vehicle, but also comfortably walk to fun coffee shops, restaurants and stores in the quaint neighborhood. (Great routes for runners to safely explore too.) The hosts are so charming and accommodating! They provide a relaxing hideaway with everything you need to enjoy your visit. This stay is the best overall experience I have had using vrbo.

Wonderful stay!
This was an amazing find! Private, large, gorgeous windows, off street parking (which we didn't need, but was good to have available), friendly and responsive hosts. We will definitely check availability here first on our next trip to town.

Great place,with one catch
The property was wonderful. The off street parking was great,and Gil and his wife were fantastic to communicate with. My only concern is the lack of window treatment on the giant window in the living room . While I understand the beauty of the huge stained glass window,with the bathroom on the same floor you have to get dressed in the tiny bathroom or risk being exposed to the backyard in all your glory because there isnt any curtains or treatments on the window to close. Also a couple chairs and small table right outside the door of the guest house would go a long way.

Perfect place for everything LA County has to offer
My daughter and I spent a week here and loved it! We chose it for its proximity to Universal and WB Studios and public transit. It worked beautifully for us. We were able to eat half our meals at the property. Ralph’s/Kroger is nearby; the mini fridge is the right size for a little fruit, snacks, drinks, etc. We loved having the pool after a long, hot day out and about. The place is much bigger than the photos indicate. Having two floors meant I could wake up early and do yoga (mats available) or catch up on e-mail with waking my daughter. So much better than a hotel room.
Only had a car on the last two days; otherwise we used Uber and transit. The property is convenient for driving, notwithstanding the legendary traffic.
Gil and Holly were lovely hosts. We arrived early and Holly was kind enough to take us to Citywalk which I truly appreciated after an early morning flight. They were friendly but never intrusive.
My daughter has already asked when we are coming back! Stay here and you won’t be disappointed.

Perfect retreat
I cannot explain in words how wonderful this property is. The décor is AMAZING, the guest house is huge, inviting, comfortable, and well appointed. Beautiful stained glass throughout, excellent view of the pool area, quite neighborhood in spite of being blocks away from Warner Brothers and busy NOHO life.
Access to the property is very convenient from the personal parking spot, Then, through a locked gate and locked door on the guest house itself. I was an $11 Uber from Griffith Park, and $5 Uber from and plethora of dining and lively nightlife in the Burbank area.
I spent several hours by the pool and had my family over on several occasions and they were as impressed as I was by the property.
The upstairs sleeping area is beautifully appointed, the rich luxurious colors and décor truly made me feel like I was on vacation. There is plenty of room, the bed was totally comfortable, although my only critique would be that the sheets seemed to be nearing the end of their useful life. Not dirty by any means, just a little worn, and I'm stretching to find something to find even slightly off. .
The shower was strong, the bathroom was clean and fully functional.
The hosts were outstanding! They are there if you need them,by phone or email, but they don't bother you at all if you don't. There was plenty of coffee available, an assortment of snacks (unexpected) and plenty of clearly written instructions to provide the tenant with any and all information necessary to navigate the amenities. I didn't try the WiFi as I have a hot spot of my own, but the Hulu and the Netflix covered all of my limited TV needs.
Overall this was an outstanding location, outstanding property, INCREDIBLE VALUE, and wonderful hosts. I'd love to tell you this place was awful so I could keep it a secret, but I loved it too much. I will be back if I can get a reservation.

North Hollywood guesthouse
Look no further for a place to stay in LA. My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Gil and Holly’s. Pool was nice so too was the guesthouse and they have the friendliest dogs. Will definitely stay here again. FYI it’s a two story guesthouse living room and bathroom on the bottom and bedroom at the top.

Hooray for Hollywood
We loved this place! It was even better than we expected with easy access to Universal studios and the Chinese theatre. We took the bus, walked and drove but it is an easy Uber ride as well.
The pictures don’t really do the place justice as their backyard has a nice pool and garden retreat. The house and neighborhood have charming details reminiscent of 30’s bungalows and a fun history, especially because we were attending a movie premiere.
I loved the stained glass windows, the two stories and the charm of the place was well worth the reasonable price. The owners were very warm and friendly, willing to help but not overly present, which was perfect for our family. As we had never vrbo’d before, and I was with my children, I was grateful for how safe the place felt and the smoothness of the process. We will definitely visit again!
Thanks!
