Eclectic 1920s Hollywood house. Beautiful gardens and sitting areas. Very good kitchen. Two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, the third is a bit of a hike up some stairs to a powder room/Bath. The host (Danny) was great. The house does have some persistent musty smells. Completely bizarre neighborhood with beautiful homes next to shacks. Thirty-five steps from the parking area to the front door....not for those with knee issues. we really enjoyed it.

The property is a beautifully remodeled 1920’s bohemian oasis in the Hollywood Hills, close to Capitol records, Hollywood Bowl and Universal Studios. My family and I spent a long weekend here. Each of us had privacy and rest as the bedrooms are spread out with their own bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped. We were able to relax and enjoy our time together and also get to local attractions in reasonable time. The property manager is very responsive and lovely. We would stay again and explore in the future.

We stayed with our family of 5 for 5 days. This piece of property is so beautiful, clean, tranquil and in a perfect location for sight-seeing around LA and surrounding areas. This wonderful home has everything you may need and more! We loved drinking our morning coffee on one of the many outdoor patios. I would highly recommend staying here!

Casa Escalera served as home base for our family for a week's worth of exploring LA's sights, attractions and beauty. Due to LA's traffic, location was a key care about for our stay and Casa Escalera was perfect for that. It was a short trip to the Hollywood sign, Griffith park and observatory, the Greek, Hollywood bowl, Hollywood blvd and Chinese Theater, Universal studios, Warner Brothers Studios, Paramount Studios, The Grove. The house itself is nestled in the Hollywood Hills in the same canyon as the Hollywood Sign. Houses in the neighborhood can be packed rather tightly together, but the extensive landscaping at the house provided isolation and a feeling of an exotic getaway. The kitchen appliances were top notch and the house was very well stocked with utensils, cookware, spices in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathrooms. They even had beach towels, a cooler and umbrella for a day at the beach. Our family really enjoyed our stay at the house and we would not hesitate to reserve it again or recommend it to others.

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. So close to attractions yet the property is so peaceful and quiet, it’s hard to believe you’re in a huge city. The check in procedures were easy, and the home is very well stocked with everything you need for a perfect vacation!

I stayed with my family at Casa Escalera for four nights this past February, we were looking at a few universities in the area and showing 2 of my teenagers a little bit of life in the Hollywood/Los Angeles area. The house is in a great neighborhood, located very close to hiking trails, very peaceful. The outdoor gardens and numerous courtyards (and the hummingbirds) were hard to leave each morning to set out on tours . The house itself is full of charm and is meticulously maintained (and I'm a person who literally focuses on thread count and kitchen appliances not just location when choosing a vacation house). The kitchen in particular is amazing and has views for miles with doors opening to the courtyards. I shared many photos with our friends back in NYC and will absolutely return if we are heading back to the area.

We saved the best for the last. We trully enjoyed the house, and our family had a wonderful time together on the occasion of our son’s graduation. The house is even more beautiful than it shows on the web. The owner’s responses very quick when I had a question. Our family will definitely stay here again when we’re back to LA.

The home was beautiful! We had plenty of space for the 5 of us, and enjoyed it so much we hardly left the property. Danny was easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. We loved the wood burning fireplace. I would highly recommend this property for a group, it is a stunning home originally built in 1925 and upgraded beautifully!

Staying at this Villa turned out to be the highlight of our entire stay in Hollywood. Absolutely a fabulous experience!

We had a lovely stay in this home -- it's in a great spot for exploring LA , it's very comfortable, it has truly lovely patios and landscaping, and the management team are wonderful.

The house was perfect for our family’s vacation. The views and landscaping are amazing.

It was a beautiful home. Beautiful location. Quiet neighborhood. Close to many of LA’s sightseeing locations. Highly recommend.

I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals all over the world and I can honestly say Casa Escalera was the best appointed property I’ve ever stayed at. Plenty of supplies (as opposed to the place I stayed at earlier this month where the host left one roll of toilet paper for a 10-day stay) and the kitchen had anything a cook could want and amazing appliances. Everything in this home is high end and perfect for entertaining. We celebrated two family birthdays between Christmas and New Years Day - I can’t think of a better place to have enjoyed LA and those close to us. Lilly and Danny were perfect hosts - attentive, communicative and thoughtful from start to finish. Can’t wait to stay there again!

The house is as pictured. It's lovely and the landscaping is amazing. We lucked out with beautiful weather so we took advantage of dining on the patio and cooking on the grill. The kitchen is very well designed and has everything you need to prepare a feast. The location was great...easy to get to stores. The neighbors were quiet but friendly. As mentioned on the website this house has many stairs, both inside and out. It is not for families with children or anyone who is handicapped. The only problem we encountered was a lack of suitable window coverings in the master bedroom. There are some bright street lites that shine directly into the room. Room darkeners for early morning light are needed. It was a wonderful spot for our family to gather and celebrate Christmas.

Our experience at this house was 100 percent positive. The house is beautiful and in a tremendous location. All amenities and appliances were top quality. Everything was as depicted in the photos -- no surprises. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions or requests. It is an extremely nice property in a fabulous neighborhood. Plenty of off-street parking which was a big help. All elegant and lovely. We would happily stay here again on our next trip.

Family of 6 stayed at Casa Escalera over Thanksgiving week and everyone loved the accomodations. The house and grounds are beautiful and comfortable. Easy to walk to hikes around the resevoir and up to the Hollywood Sign. Griifith Park not far nor is access to quintessential LA sites. Highly recommend!

A few amazing days with great friends. Casa Escalera was perfect. The property managers went out of there way to return an item left behind by mistake. Thank you Lily and Danny.

Decided to book this house over others because of the extra bed and tranquil garden setting. It was a great choice because the pictures of the listing don't do it justice. It's absolutely stunning, a beautiful house with so many features. It got to the point that as a group we found ourselves wanting to stay put more than explore LA. It comes with anything you would want: a chef's kitchen, BBQ area, outdoor patios, Sonos throughout and three very well equipped bathrooms. We even extended our stay because it was so comfortable. The host was responsive and the welcome gift was a nice touch. Can't say enough good things about this place and would highly recommend if you're in LA and want something close to everything. A luxurious experience.

Our family loved everything about the house. It was well stocked and very comfortable. Plenty of space for us all to spread out. The location of the house was perfect and there was PLENTY to do in the immediate vicinity. The information and assistance provided by iTrip and their staff was impeccable. We will definitely be looking to book with them on future trips!

The property was beautiful. We planned a trip for my daughter's 21st birthday. The birthday girl, her mom, 2 aunts and 18 year old cousin stayed 4 nights. We hit universal studios, the beach, toured a bit and had a great time. We ate in, ate out, hiked ran and searched for local "featured stairs." The property was in a great central location - easy uber rides- and it was also easy to drive to various locations. The house provided us ample opportunity to be together and dine/play games and also to find solitude. I walked and/or ran from the house each day and had a blast exploring the area. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

We really loved our stay at Casa Escalera! We stayed here with our 5 kids, and the home was large enough for all of us to have our own spaces The home was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and our host was very helpful throughout our stay. The house is centrally located to all the local attractions, yet it is on a safe and quiet street and neighborhood. Above all, we loved the outdoor areas which felt like Mediterranean verandas and a private oasis away from the busy city. We had a wonderful breakfast outside every morning and would often sit outside in the evenings with a drink and a book. It felt so homey and cozy that we did not want to leave! Highly recommend fto anyone looking for a quaint and quiet getaway that is still close to all the LA tourist sites.

The property was absolutely perfect for my friends and I. It was in a great location and completely lived up to all the photos provided in the original ad. Everyone was incredibly helpful with the entire process...from making reservations to checking out. I highly recommend everything!

Three generations of our family stayed here and loved it. Beautiful wood floors and doors throughout the house, comfortable furnishings, top-of-the-line appliances, several outdoor gathering spots around the house, and a management company that was very responsive to questions made this the perfect home away from home. My wife called it a house of luxury and comfort and impeccably maintained beautiful gardens. The younger generation was represented by a grandson who, a few minutes after arriving, told us "This is the best house I've ever been in."

Wonderful home, with unique character. Very close to several attractions, including Hollywood and Universal Studios. Beautiful, well apportioned, and the host was very responsive.

Everything was beyond my expectations and my (numerous) previous rental experiences. The house was better than the photos show, everything in top shape, high end and fully functional. Fully stoked and all amenities available to the renter, garage, all appliances and TVs, real fireplace, iPad controlled music throughout the house, etc…Lilly and her partner were waiting at the house to welcome us and give us a nice bottle of wine, a box of chocolates and popcorns ! If we had any questions, they would get back to us within minutes and had perfect knowledge of the house. In short, if I could give six stars instead of five, I would !
