Classic Hollywood Hills

When I picture California, I picture a house like this. This gave me everything I was looking for and then some. My daughter and I absolutely loved our stay here. The kitchen is spectacular, too bad we didn’t take the time to utilize it! Would stay here again without hesitation.

A Place To Make Core Memories!

My friends and I stayed at Casa Escalera during our annual friends reunion trip and we had such an amazing time! The space is so inviting, cozy and beautiful. We loved it so much that we split our time between staying indoors and exploring LA. We enjoyed family meals outside, playing the piano and relaxing inside and of course soaking in all that LA had to offer as well. My dog loved the space too. Highly recommend!

Awesome, gorgeous, awesome!

This couldn't be a more exquisite place to stay! We are displaced because of the Eaton Fire and Lilly was so kind and thoughtful with us as we figured out how Casa Escalera could happen for us. The flowers, the plants, the back yard, the walks around the neighborhood and each of the rooms themselves are just gorgeous. Can't recommend this beautiful home and iTrip enough!

Beautiful House and Grounds

My family of 8 stayed for 3 nights. Everyone loved the place. It was especially fun for our 3 fourteen year olds who loved playing with their light sabers (we just came from Disneyland) outdoors. First time to LA and it gave us a nice feeling staying in the Hollywood Hills as opposed to a hotel. Cons: Didn’t love that we had to pay for the air mattress each night rather than a flat fee. There was no detergent for laundry so it was an extra stop we don’t plan for. And don’t know how to ground coffee beans so having morning coffee wasn’t an option. Having ground coffee ready with some coffee mate would have made a big difference. Minor inconveniences considering the beauty of the place and the views. It was truly spectacular. I only included it for future visitors to be prepared. I would highly recommend this place. Stunning views.

We really loved our stay at this home. The house itself is obviously an older home, but it has been very thoughtfully updated. They kept the original charm of the home, but have added a sound system throughout the house, updated lighting, remodeled bathrooms and a beautifully updated kitchen with high-end appliances. This home also has pretty much all items that you could need--it's very well stocked. Also, they are very responsive to questions. I had a couple of questions about where to find things and how to do things and they responded very quickly with solutions and answers. The home is located in an ideal neighborhood. It's very private and the surrounding homes are beautifully maintained. We felt very safe. Also, this is located close to Dodgers stadium, great restaurants, museums, and shopping. It's really ideal. And, did I mention the amazing landscaping? I felt like I should be sitting outside whenever I could at this beautiful home. The landscaping and multiple patios are exceptional. My family plans to stay at this home agian in the future.

Gorgeous!

Such a beautiful and comfortable home. Spotlessly clean inside, with expertly maintained gardens outside. Just gorgeous! As mentioned by other reviewers (thank you!), there are a lot of stairs both inside and outside, but it was so worth it. I personally preferred having lots of steps to get to the front door rather than having to navigate a steep driveway. Yes the streets in the neighborhood narrow and winding, but again so worth it to stay in this unique house.

Secluded Casa Near it All!

Casa escalera exceeded our expectations. The home is beautifully decorated w art and unique furnishings. Beds were super comfy. We took full use of the chef's kitchen and enjoyed the multiple sitting areas both inside and out. The home feels secluded and far away from it all, but 7 minutes from hollywood- los filez- griffith, and a nice challenging walk to beachwood eatery. Itrip's communication is 5☆ as well as their accomodating service. Tyty. We hope to return!
