Private room in Hollywood Hills West

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 374 reviews

Room in Hillside Home with Skyline Views

Guest room in my Hollywood Hills home. Private bathroom, flat screen TV, California King bed (my friends call it the W Hotel Suite). Contemporary house....the architect also designed Jackie Collins' house in Beverly Hills. My house is located in the heart of the Hollywood Hills, just five minutes from the world famous Sunset Strip, 10 minutes from shopping on Rodeo Drive, 15 minutes from the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Dolby Theater (Academy Awards), and 20 minutes from Universal Studios. With reasonable traffic, it is about 40 minutes to LAX. There are many good bars and restaurants and shopping in the Sunset Plaza area of Sunset Blvd (5 minutes away). Parking is easy on the street at my house. On a clear day, the view from my house reaches across the city and all the way to the Pacific Ocean. NOTE..I DO NOT INCLUDE BREAKFAST IN THE LISTING. THERE ARE GREAT RESTAURANTS NEARBY OPEN 24 HRS. BECAUSE OF SOME DAMAGE FROM GUESTS IN THE KITCHEN I ASK THAT THE KITCHEN NOT BE USED. THE GRAND PIANO IN THE LIVING ROOM IS ALSO NOT AVAILABLE FOR GUEST USE. ALSO...I HAVE TWO GUEST ROOMS LISTED ON AIRBNB SO THERE MAY BE OTHER GUESTS IN THE HOUSE AT THE SAME TIME. PLEASE ASK IF THAT IS AN ISSUE FOR YOU. Guests must be able to arrive before 10PM or the reservation request may not be accepted. The laundry room is available for use by guests staying 5 nights or more.... not before 8AM and not after 8 PM Lost key fee is $50 that will be requested from security deposit. Starting August 1, 2016, Airbnb will be adding 14% occupancy tax to the fee charged and will submit it to the City of Los Angeles. If your arrival at LAX is 9PM or later, it means you will not likely arrive at my house until 12AM after getting luggage, rental car, etc. I may ask for your arrival time and if you are unable to be at the house by 10PM or so I may not accept the reservation request. (I have had guests show up at 3AM) This guest room is on the lower level of the house and does not have direct terrace access, etc. like the other listing. (no view) The guest room is suitable for one or two persons only...not 3 or more. In the guest room there is a book, I call it the 'green book' in which you will find local restaurant ideas, transportation, etc etc that is relevant to your stay at my house. Most guests find it helpful. My residence is on famous Hollywood Blvd, but not the commercial part of the street that everyone knows. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area, high in the hills but still just minutes from the Sunset Strip. Breakfast is not included. The picture on the home page is my living room...that is not the guest room. Check pictures section for guest room pictures. Public transportation is not terribly convenient from my house. You really need a car to get around at your convenience in the Los Angeles area. Uber and Lyft are also both easily available, and very affordable as an option. When you arrive, please make sure you are at the correct address. The house number 8824 is on the front of the house above the garage door. (I have had guests go to the neighbor's house). Please send a text message when you arrive.

Idyllic, Romantic Beachfront Apartment in Malibu

Fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves in this charming beachfront apartment. The light, airy home features open-plan living and a wall of windows to maximize the amazing views. Enjoy drinks on the deck and a sunset over the water—it's pure bliss. This beachfront apartment is right above the sand and surf. At night the sounds of the sea will lull you to sleep. During the day, you can watch the sea lions sunning on the rocks and dolphins and whales swimming by or go for a walk along the water's edge and dive in yourself. This is an amazing place to have a glass of wine and watch the sunset and relax! In the evening, the lights of the "Queen's Necklace" glimmer in the distance and the moonlight shines on the water. The living room is cozy with two loveseats to snuggle in and watch a movie on the 50" flat screen TV. Three large sliding glass doors open up if you want to let the ocean breezes blow through. The kitchen is small but fully equipped with an apartment size stove and oven, a microwave, a Keurig coffee maker and a French press, tea kettle, toaster and all the dishes and pots and pans you need. A round table with linens provides a beautiful spot for morning coffee. The bedroom has a queen bed with a new organic mattress and designer sheets, pillows and duvet. There is a large closet with room to store your clothes. Books line the bookshelves if you'd like something to read. Mostly, this is just a quiet, beautiful space to put your feet up and really relax while watching the endless panorama of the natural world outside. And....if you want to feel like a movie star, the apartment was recently used as a glamorous setting in an independent film due out soon!!! Two-person kayak (life jackets available) Boogie Boards and a surfboard Television with premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) Wi-Fi Shared entry gate with one other unit. My husband and I live in a small cottage above the apartment but the only shared space is the entry door. We rarely even see our guests. However, I am always available to answer questions or concerns but almost no one has them! Situated directly above the sand and surf, the home is in a residential area along the Malibu coast, away from the tourist areas. Take in the stars at night while strolling along the beach, or eat at one of the nearby restaurants right on the water. There is bus service available just a minute from the apartment that will take you into Santa Monica or the center of Malibu, or farther north to some of Malibu's more remote beaches. Uber is readily available. At high tide, the ocean may come right up to the seawall limiting beach availability. This all depends on the moon, the tides and the amount of sand that we have. This can really vary from day to day and depending on the season. This winter, rough seas washed away our private stairs to the beach, so guests need to use the public access stairs just a few houses away and a very short walk.

We are located right off PCH up the hill. You can access the apartment by going down the long set of stairs along the blue railing on the left side of the property. There is plenty of free street parking at the apartment. Always available in person, via phone or text, if you need anything. The guest suite sits in the lower level of the main house on a quiet street. It's within walking distance to Duke's, Old Malibu Courthouse, and La Costa Country Mart. The house is located in eastern Malibu. Why wait - come and experience the beautiful Malibu firsthand! Many people rent a car or use a car service like Uber or Lyft, but public transportation is also available. Metro line bus #534 (bus stop is 3 minute walk from the house) takes you to downtown Malibu and Santa Monica, and from there you can transfer to the Expo train line which takes you to downtown LA and elsewhere. There are also Big Blue Bus and Culver City Bus lines available in Santa Monica. It’s almost never winter in Malibu: sunny and warm, gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. Malibu always offers a great escape from a busy city to enjoy the ocean, beach and sun.
