About this property
Artistic Haven in Hollywood with Pool, Hot Tub, Cabana, and Garden
Exclusive, quiet, and private. As featured in Jones Around the World (Best Airbnbs in Los Angeles)
Get ready to be charmed when you stay in our beautifully appointed and exceptional artistic hideaway, just a 10-minute walk from Grauman's Chinese Theatre in the heart of Hollywood. Enjoy sleeping in a custom-made queen-size bed by French-American owner and sculptor/photographer/filmmaker Pascal Giacomini, who hand-built many of the space's delightful and unique metal and wood furnishings. Completely renovated spacious studio apartment with separate sleeping area and private entrance. Gorgeous new bathroom with marble walls and stone tile floor. Grounds and apartment filled with sculptures and art from Haiti, Papua New Guinea, Brazil, Bali, and Thailand. Our main house has been operating as a private (by appointment) art gallery for over 30 years. (The only reason we don't call this a small one bedroom is because we chose to separate the bedroom from living area with curtains instead of a door cause we like the flow better!)
This is not a shared space, it is your own private apartment that is the downstairs unit of the main house. You are welcome to use the backyard, pool, hot tub, and cabana. Pool can be heated (March- October) for a fee of $100 per night. Please request the pool heater prior to your stay. It'll take about 24 hours to heat. Pool can be used without a heater at your convenience.
Centrally located with many restaurants and the best margaritas in town, all within walking distance. 10-minute walk to Runyon Canyon for spectacular hiking. 5-10 min drive to groceries, shopping, restaurants. 35-40 min drive to the beach. So much to do here.
Parking permit provided free.

About the host
Hosted by Carine Giacomini
Carine Fabius is a Haitian-American author, museum curator and art dealer. Pascal Giacomini is a French-American sculptor, photographer & filmmaker. We are a married couple who met in Los Angeles, started a Haitian art gallery in our home (Galerie Lakaye was written up in Vanity Fair Magazine!). We love to cook, entertain, hang out with our friends and we love the arts! In a former lifetime, Pascal used to be a tour guide, so he knows L.A. like the back of his hand, and can recommend the best places and sites for you to visit, if you want to see the REAL L.A.
Why they chose this property
We looked for a long time before finding this house, which is a traditional Craftsman house built in 1913. Its charm captured our hearts the first time we saw the "for rent" sign and looked in through the living-room window! We lived in it for 10 years before buying it in 1999. We would never go anywhere else. We love this neighborhood and we have the best neighbors.
What makes this property unique
When you are on our property, you have the best that L.A. has to offer. You are right in the center of Hollywood, but you feel like you are in the countryside because of all the lush landscaping. It's beautiful and quiet here. And people always tell us that they feel a sense of peace when they enter the premises.
