Take it easy on the porch in a Hollywood hideaway

Our guests like to call The Porch House a 'tree house'. We think it's because the 40 foot long porch walks into the canopy of a massive rubber tree that stands alongside it. Or maybe because with the french doors open in the bedroom you feel like you're sleeping in a king size nest. But our 'nest' has creature comforts as well... private bedroom, shower, full size fridge/freezer, toaster oven, hot plate, coffee maker, tea pot, wifi, and Netflix. The main room has vaulted ceilings, a skylight and 2 ceiling fans to keep you cool. Simple but cozy decor make it a great place to relax. 3 sets of french doors along the porch side open up to make the place feel twice as big... Sunset is the perfect time to open up all the the doors, listen to the birds and let the light and breeze go throughout the house. You don't feel like you are in the center of Hollywood. You get the entire back house to yourself with private entrance and private porch. We are always ready to answer any questions and help with traveling suggestions but also respect your privacy so if you don't contact us we will not be bothering you. This property is located in central Hollywood—a few minutes away from Griffith Park, the Hollywood sign, and Universal Studios but nestled in a neighborhood that's walking distance to different restaurants and markets. 10 minute walk to the metro that connects to LAX, Chinese theatre, Santa Monica beach. Many bus stops on every corner. We love our neighborhood even though we are located in a central Hollywood it doesn't feel touristic or fake. We have many different ethnicities in our neighborhood which makes it so unique with different delicious authentic cousins and cultures.

Canoe Down the Venice Canals from a Historic Guest House

Experience California's answer to Venice, Italy at this country chic guest house with an outdoor deck. Situated on a serene, traffic-free island, this 1928 cottage combines pinewood hardware, bespoke textiles, and the latest modern conveniences. Los Angeles's coastal town of Venice is well known, but few are familiar with the quaint residential neighborhood within Venice known as the Venice Canals Historic District. Built along a series of canals, it's responsible for inspiring the city's name. The picturesque community features upscale and meticulously maintained homes and gardens, many with their own docks and boats. "However, this special Airbnb find lets you try out living like a local for a few days. The house has all the usual modern comforts, including high-speed Wi-Fi, as well as extras like a jetted tub in the bathroom and a barbecue. But the most fun is visitors' access to the house's private dock and boats, including a canoe, rowboats, and kayaks. All that, and you're also mere blocks from the Pacific and all the shopping, food, culture, and attractions that Venice has in spades." Written about in Business Insider Magazine May 6, 2021 issue as a very special Air bnb in Venice!
