Essential info

Key facts to know about Hollywood holiday rentals

Before you arrive at Hollywood holiday rentals, there are a few key facts you should know. Hollywood may be where many top American films are shot, but your odds of running into an actual celebrity are pretty slim. Unless you’re spending time in high-end restaurants, you’re likely going to see other travellers more than anything else. Like elsewhere in the United States, tipping is standard practice for all kinds of service workers including restaurant servers, taxi drivers and tour guides. You’ll also need American dollars for this, so make sure to get your currency exchanged once you arrive or even before to have some cash on hand.
