About this house rental
As you walk through the front door of the Design Masterpiece, and enter the open framed cast iron elevator, which climbs through four stories of circular stone staircase, your senses are brought to full attention to bear witness to every exquisite detail. Two antique arched wooden doors frame your entrance to a Master suite with no equal. Floor to ceiling glass walls accentuate the grand scale of this suite giving way to jetliner views from the master bed. Draped with tapestries, fabric and hand made rugs, there has never been a more seamless mix of luxury and comfort. Antique folding wooden doors encase floor to ceiling windows on the fourth floor, which open up to both a beautiful all tile pool and spa, as well as an endless view from the city to the water.

It's only a short 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk, but since our property is in the hills, coming back, you would have to walk uphill.

Summary of reviewsStunning property with amazing views, multiple floors for space, beautiful pool area, ideal location in Hollywood Hills. A gem worth revisiting!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2023
We came to Hollywood to celebrate the 90th birthday of Willie Nelson at the Hollywood Bowl.
Our stay at the property was icing on the cake!
We spent hours exploring the home. It felt like old Hollywood meets a trip around the world. The multiple floors were perfect to give us each space. The view from the top floor overlooking LA was unbelievable. Walking out the 4th floor into the beautiful lush pool area was a perfect start and end to each day! The location was ideal! It felt like being in the middle of all of the buzz, yet tucked away in the quiet Hollywood Hills.
We will 100% be back for another stay!
Bruno’s communication was perfect.
This truly is a gem. I am grateful the owner has opened his doors to share this stunning, one of a kind home with others!

Thank you, James and Bruno!
We had a very nice stay at this home. The property has four beautiful levels, with amazing décor and an incredible view. Lots of fun items to admire inside. Communication with the property manager Bruno was easy and fast (he is very helpful), and we didn’t have any major problems. The house has nice extras like a toaster, portable fans, towels, and shampoo/soap. We didn’t use the hot tub, but we did use the pool, and it was wonderful.
Although I do recommend this space and would stay again, here are some things I wish we had known:
- We couldn’t get the ovens to work. There are three, and we couldn’t use any of them. Someone came over to look at them after I inquired, but they still never ended up working. This isn’t a huge problem; we just wish we had known because we bought food to make before realizing. We were planning on making food there during our stay, and ended up having to eat out every meal.
- The balcony doors were locked everywhere except the main bathroom. We were very excited to use the balcony (as was pictured in the listing), so we were disappointed to find locks. If you’re looking forward to open-door breezes like we were, this is important to note. I was told it’s an insurance issue which is understandable, however we were confused because the listing photos showed the doors wide open.
- The elevator is incredible, but it is a bit temperamental. It stopped working three times, and we were being very careful with it. Again, the issue was very quickly resolved, but know that it may be finicky.
- Good luck trying to turn off some of the lights. There are a lot (and they are beautiful), but we simply could not find a way to turn many of them off.
- The home is stunning, but could use a good deep cleaning. Certain areas are very dusty/spiderwebby, and the microwave looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. My friend emptied her own trash can and found that the bag inside was incredibly old—as if it was emptied, but the bag wasn’t changed. We also found items from past guests underneath some chairs. I would say the house was tidy, but it could have been much cleaner.
Overall, these small issues were just that—small. However, they are things I would want to know. The house is still worth booking…you may just want to be aware of these things.
Recommended.

Beautiful property with amazing views in the Hollywood Hills. Every room has something amazing.

If you’re looking for dramatic impact, this is a place for you. Very true to the pictures, this place has absolutely amazing views of LA, including the downtown skyline. The furnishings are incredibly unique, with unusual antiques, very evocative of an old Hollywood feel. Located high in the Hollywood Hills, if you are not used to driving there, it will be an eye opener. Very hilly, winding and at points narrow roads. You better pay attention for other vehicles. Not the easiest in and out but that is a part of the experience here. Elevator is really cool. Good for getting luggage up and down or for 2 or 3 people at a time. Master suite is huge. Bed was very comfortable and views are spectacular . Other bedrooms all big too with unique elevated bed areas and en suite baths that our teen girls loved. Outdoor pool and spa area is a lush retreat and pool and spa water can be warmed up as needed, although spa jets not working. Location is ideal for visiting Hollywood Blvd, Sunset Strip and Universal Studios. My advice, if you plan to cook meals at home, order groceries in advance. Getting to, in and out, and home from Whole Foods will take some time and effort if you’re not used to driving in LA. We did order in from Fatburger using Postmates one evening. Our order took longer than originally estimated and they did get our order wrong, not sure if that is typical or not. House is generally clean but is older and shows wear and tear of its age. Don’t expect pristine, Four Seasons level conditions. The drama is the draw and for that this place delivers!
