Retro homey abode with stunning views. Hollywood star studded neighborhood. Stay in a home with rich old Hollywood history. Right by Ventura Boulevard in the middle of Studio city, central to everything but secluded enough in the hills for a peaceful stay. Heated pool and spa. 20 foot high ceilings. Huge outdoor deck perfect for quality time in the sun with friends and family.
IMPORTANT: Please note, as an older house, our house has wear and tear, it is not a new house, and we like to set clear expectations for any interested guests. Most guests love the character of the home and so do we. If you're looking for a new, modern house with state of the art appliances and with no wear and tear, this may not be the home for you. We've spent several thousand dollars in renovations recently in our home and want to welcome guests who enjoy a home with a bit of history.
Pool and Jacuzzi heating is an extra $100/night. If you want the pool heated before your arrival we can send someone on our team to do so in the morning of your arrival for $100. The pool can take anywhere from 5-10+ hours to get to the desired temperature depending on outside temp. Jacuzzi in about 30 mins-1 hour depending on the temperature outside. NOTE: You can only heat up one at a time, either pool or spa, NOT both simultaneously.
Note: No garage, but parking for 2 cars in driveway. Street parking is available but only for certain hours of days, be sure to check the street signs so you don't get towed or ticketed. Please do not park directly in front of one of our neighbors houses --they may need the Parking space for themselves.
House Rules:
We have done everything possible for all our guests to enjoy the experience our house has to offer. This comes with several restrictions that will allow us to comply with the City Home-Sharing Ordinance as well as to respect our neighbors and continue hosting without getting complaints:
1. Absolutely No smoking anywhere on the premises and no parties. Any noise complaints will be grounds to cancel the reservation immediately with no refund. We are equipped with NoiseAware(which measures decibel level inside and outside) and Ring Video Doorbell. L. A is very strict and we want to make sure we can keep hosting our guests.
2. No amplified music as well as outdoor gatherings after 10 pm in order to respect the peacefulness of the area and to show consideration for our neighbors. The swimming pool and tennis court is off-limits after 10:00 PM for groups as well as kids.
3. The Exact number of people in the house needs to be communicated to the host.
4. Fireplace is decorative only. Please do not put any type of fire on the outside or inside, this includes any smoking. We live in a very high fire hazard severity zone.
5. PARTIES AND EVENTS ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED.
Please note: A guest that will violate this strict rule, will lose his security deposit and will be evicted from the house on the same night.
6. CLEANLINESS is a high priority for our listings, please respect the house and clean up after yourself.
7. Our gardening comes once a week on Mondays and pool service comes twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. NOTE: We do NOT offer pool servicing outside of our regular service days. If you would like to arrange the pool to be cleaned or serviced outside our regular day, we can TRY to make arrangements with our pool team, and if possible, the guest must pay any associated fees. We are not a hotel so please note that we do not offer pool/spa cleanings on demand. Due to the beautiful nature surrounding our pool & spa area, it is inevitable that leaves and twigs will gather up in the water and surrounding areas. ESPECIALLY between service days. Sometimes we have very windy days in LA and there may be more leaves and twigs than usual. If it is not our pool servicing day, we please ask that you kindly use the pool net to clean out any leaves/twigs and patiently wait for our next service day.

FAQ
- Why does the price change? We use dynamic pricing software that changes the rates from time to time

-The pool has leaves and twigs, can you send someone over to clean? Due to the beautiful nature surrounding our pool area, it is inevitable that leaves and twigs will gather up in the water and surrounding areas. Sometimes we have very windy days in LA and there may be more leaves than usual. We do have pool servicing on a weekly basis, but if it is not our pool servicing day, we please ask that you kindly use the pool net to clean out any leaves/twigs. Appreciate your understanding with this!

- Can you explain the heating of the pool rates? The price is $100 per day, so you just need to multiply the number of nights you're staying for this rate to get a price.

If you would like us to heat the pool in advance of your arrival, just add an additional $100 to this rate.
