The house was incredible. We had a fantastic time and our host was incredibly accommodating. The photos don’t do it justice, it’s such a unique and beautiful house with a lot of charm. We had the best time and can’t wait to return! Thank you Roland for letting us stay at your wonderful house.

We had a lovely time staying at this house! Roland was a wonderful host, and we were so fortunate to enjoy this lovely glamorous but very comfortable property. Highlights were the beautiful patio and fountain, gorgeous bar and living room, comfortable beds. Well-stocked kitchen. Fun place to spend a warm, CA Christmas. Perfect location, so close to so much Hollywood but quiet at the house. Great heated pool and close access to canyon hiking! Plan to come back as soon as we can!

This is an amazing property. Built in 1938, this place has tons of character and charm. It is also thoroughly updated without losing its warmth and historical detail. So comfy! Wonderful kitchen. Comfy beds. Beautiful interior courtyard and nice small swimming pool and hot tub and additional outdoor area for grilling! The location is close to everything, but it seems a world away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended!!

We had a fabulous time at Roland's home. The pool and hot tub were perfect, the property was immaculate and we had everything we needed. Love the care taken to have essentials stocked in the kitchen. Check in was in person, detailed and very helpful. Roland was always available to help us. Wish we could have stayed forever!

We had a wonderful stay. The home is very special in a great location.

had a lovely stay. great space. tastefully decorated. outdoor patio is a wonderful bonus hang out area. highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Roland’s beautiful home! We would absolutely come back.

Roland’s home is a stunner. There’s incredible charm and character in every detail. The location is central to pretty much everything and the house is very private and quiet. Roland was a very communicative host and answered any questions we had via text immediately. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone.

Fun spot, clean, pictures are accurate. Would recommend.

Everything about the property and owner were lovely . Great gathering place for family. Would definitely stay there again! Wonderful location too.

House is very large, great for socializing with our group of friends. Kitchen is fully stocked, the chef that was in our group was able to cook up some great meals. Beds are really comfortable, and the outdoor courtyard is a really nice option to get some fresh air. The house has a lot of built ins and a ton of classic character. The host Roland is very quick to reply and a fantastic host. I generally don't leave reviews and would highly recommend this house.

Great house with really helpful management. Thank you!

Thank you Roland for the wonderful weekend!

Great location, great home, great property, great owner!!

This home was a wonderful base for a family gathering. The house is clean, comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed eating and relaxing in the private courtyard. The kitchen is particularly well stocked and the pool while small is very tranquil. Roland was excellent to communicate with and was a welcoming and considerate host.

Our family of 4 (all adults) had a great stay here in early July. The house is lovely, big and airy, we particularly enjoyed having our breakfast in the courtyard with the fountain each day and we also had a swim each morning in the nearby pool. Roland is a great host and was available by text to help us with any issues. The location is central to lots of interesting sites. We would love to come back and stay another time

The house is close to everything, but is at the same time very secluded. Roland, the owner, lives on the property and was very kind and helpful.

Villa Rya was an incredible property to stay at. This is a quiet, beautiful, and luxurious home that feels like its own private paradise - and yet its location is incredibly close to a nearby hike at Runyon Canyon all the bars/restaurants in West Hollywood (approx. 10 minute drive). We very much enjoyed our stay and would be absolutely pleased to be able to stay at this home again.

We had a wonderful time at Roland's property. The house is conveniently located, comfortable and affordable. Roland was a pleasure to communicate with and made our stay easy. We would definitely come back!

We enjoyed our 4-day stay at Villa Rya despite the need to stay put due to COVID. The home is very spacious, comfortably furnished and well equipped, and the big courtyard and secluded pool are great. And Roland is a gracious host.

This was a wonderful getaway for our family of 7 adults. Plenty of room to spread out throughout the property, or get together as a group to play games in the living room, enjoy a drink in the bar, watch a movie on the veranda, or lounge by the pool. We NEVER left! Fun and easy isolation from the craziness going on in the world today. We cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner in the gourmet kitchen - plenty of room for everyone to participate in the preparation. Roland was a gracious host and let us do our own thing. I would recommend this property to anyone interested in a great Hollywood Hills escape!

This was such a wonderful getaway from home. Once we set foot on the property, we felt like we were in another world and truly away with our family. The outside spaces were wonderful to have family dinners, relaxed conversations, and moments alone to refocus and be present. The pool was fun and the jacuzzi was relaxing. The kitchen was well supplied with utensils, cookware, and dishes just another area to create beautiful memories. The TV and living rooms allowed for us to enjoy one another as well. The property manager was delightful and helpful. We had an excellent stay. I would recommend this home to everyone.

One of the best VRBO experiences we have had. The property is very unique. It is perfect for both small and large groups. The owner of the property is great and contributes to the wonderful experience. This property will be our top choice for any long or short future stays in the Hollywood Hills/West Hollywood area.

Beautiful home and pool, my teenage kids loved it. Kitchen was updated and amazing! Used the BBQ grill as well- very nice.

Roland is a great host. The house is beautiful and clean. Great location, we were minutes from everything. Walking distance to Runyon Canyon. Can’t wait to return.

This home looked just like the pictures but definitely better in person. Roland was very accommodating, friendly and quickly responded to all of my inquiries.

We decided to take a staycation locally to give my son (and us) a break from being sheltered at home for so long. Roland’s home was absolutely the perfect place to go. Roland the host was fantastic! He had cold bottled waters (more than a case) in the refrigerator and the pool nicely heated for us. He is very gracious, generous and super accommodating. Roland is the best host! The previous review gives you the wrong impression. Roland lives on property but not literally upstairs. It’s a separate building in a separate area and away from the main house that’s rented so you forget his there. He gives you complete privacy. The few times we saw him was super early sweeping the leaves in the courtyard for us. We actually appreciated it so when we woke up it was clean for us to enjoy the day. It’s like staying at a resort and the grounds being kept nice and clean for the guests. Also, he heated the pool for us early in morning so we could enjoy during the day and night. He asked us what temperature we liked the pool and had it at that temperature for the week for us. Roland thought of everything so his guests can enjoy their vacation. The home has a an awesome outside courtyard, separate pool area and all the pool toys, tons of clean towels that you need to enjoy your staycation. My 7year old son and a few of his friends we invited said it was the best vacation ever! The trees and decor of courtyard of the home gives you a feel that you are in tropical city. We truly forgot we were in Los Angeles. We truly did not want to leave. Thanks Roland!

This property is beautiful, without a doubt! However, it comes with the owner, Roland, who lives upstairs. The description of the place on VRBO fails to mention this. During our walkthrough, Roland said, "Its as if I don't live here. You'll never see me!" We saw Roland every single day, multiple times a day. Roland sighting #1: During my engagement proposal gathering, my family and I left the windows open because there was no central air. It was hot. Around 10pm Roland comes walking through the house unannounced, and starts closing the windows. He didn't call me or text me, he just showed up. Roland sighting #2: The next day, my fiance in her bathing suit decided to walk from the pool to the kitchen to grab a drink when she heard the toilet flush. This was strange to her considering everyone was at the pool. The bathroom door opens and out comes Roland! She asked what he was doing there and he replied "checking the Wifi." Nobody asked Roland to check or fix the WiFi. We never logged on to the WiFi our entire stay. Roland sighting #3: We had to ask Roland to turn on the heat for the jacuzzi, which he did. An hour later, he came down while we were in the pool and told us he was turning it off because there wasn't anybody in the jacuzzi. How did he know that we weren't in the jacuzzi at that time? I'm assuming because there is a window looking down at the jacuzzi from his room. Roland sighting #4: Around 4am, you read that correctly, 4am, a guest was sleeping in the courtyard which comes with light sensors. To my guests surprise, the lights came on. This startled her and further terrified her to see Roland walking through the courtyard. He turned around when he saw her on the hammock. Roland sighting #5: Finally on our last day, our checkout was scheduled for 10am. At 8:30am I walk downstairs to take my luggage to my car, only to find Roland inside our kitchen washing dishes. I put my bags down to ask Roland why he was in the house that we had for another hour and a half and he said he was "getting a head start on the cleaning." He also said that I had to clean up the dishes and cups we used. I replied that we had the house until 10am and that I paid for a cleaning fee. He told me my cleaning fee didn't cover the mess we made. I have time stamped pictures and videos of the "mess we made." Roland then proceeded to follow me to my car after I asked him to leave the kitchen. I ignored him. PLEASE BE AWARE!

This home is spacious and perfectly situated in the Hollywood Hills. Roland is a wonderful and generous host and we had everything we needed for a “staycation”.

This is an amazing house with a beautiful courtyard. Our large family stayed here comfortably and everyone had space to spread out and relax. Roland was a great host and answered all our questions and had the hot tub ready for us when we arrived. This home is such a gem and a beautiful place to stay.

Roland does such an amazing job maintaining the classic beauty of this property. It was a very warm and welcoming stay.

I had a friend and family came from Japan. I wanted them to experience life in Los Angeles. The location is very quiet Hollywood Hills neighborhood which is very close to Hollywood & Highland and West Hollywood area. The house is amazing, good for family or a group of friends who want to spend very relaxing time. I like every small detail decoration of the house. Especially, I loved the patio and pool. The both pool and Jacuzzi are heated we could enjoyed even night. A part of our plan was cooking at the house. The kitchen had a full of equipment and dishes that we can use. We could use salt, oil, spices, vinegar an so on which I really appreciated it. The owner, Roland is amazing. He gave us a house tour and explained details kindly. Whenever I asked questions, he replies very quickly. We really appreciated his kind hospitality. We loved and enjoyed the stay. I really want to come back there again.
