Amazing home!

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. So close to attractions yet the property is so peaceful and quiet, it’s hard to believe you’re in a huge city. The check in procedures were easy, and the home is very well stocked with everything you need for a perfect vacation!

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!

Wonderful Experience!

We stayed with our family of 5 for 5 days. This piece of property is so beautiful, clean, tranquil and in a perfect location for sight-seeing around LA and surrounding areas. This wonderful home has everything you may need and more! We loved drinking our morning coffee on one of the many outdoor patios. I would highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful Home and Great Location!

The home was beautiful! We had plenty of space for the 5 of us, and enjoyed it so much we hardly left the property. Danny was easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. We loved the wood burning fireplace. I would highly recommend this property for a group, it is a stunning home originally built in 1925 and upgraded beautifully!

Beautiful and quiet

We had a very nice stay, the house itself was beautiful and we had a lot of space to relax among really unique architecture. If you’re not used to driving on steep hills and narrow roads that really shouldn’t be 2-way, you might have some trouble here :) It was definitely beneficial to have a garage! But other than that, it was close enough to everything and we felt very safe staying here.

Our best family getaway

Three generations of our family stayed here and loved it. Beautiful wood floors and doors throughout the house, comfortable furnishings, top-of-the-line appliances, several outdoor gathering spots around the house, and a management company that was very responsive to questions made this the perfect home away from home. My wife called it a house of luxury and comfort and impeccably maintained beautiful gardens. The younger generation was represented by a grandson who, a few minutes after arriving, told us "This is the best house I've ever been in."

A wonderful oasis

The property is a beautifully remodeled 1920’s bohemian oasis in the Hollywood Hills, close to Capitol records, Hollywood Bowl and Universal Studios. My family and I spent a long weekend here. Each of us had privacy and rest as the bedrooms are spread out with their own bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped. We were able to relax and enjoy our time together and also get to local attractions in reasonable time. The property manager is very responsive and lovely. We would stay again and explore in the future.

Hollywood Hills Mediterranean Home

Our first impression upon arrival was the beautiful landscaped garden surrounding the home in addition to the elevation from street level. When first entering the home we were taken back by how stale the home smelled. However, the home was very charming with its Victorian-styled furnishings throughout. The home was nicely appointed with all the essentials you would need. The beds were comfortable, however additional blankets and sheets could have been provided. The pillows were worn and flat, plush pillows would have made our sleeping experience better. There were bath towels provided, but there were no extra towels provided. The unexpected perk of having surround sound was quite enjoyable to be able to play music throughout the home. The home was quiet, comfortable, charming and our family enjoyed our stay.

Best Vacation Rental for Gourmet Cooking

I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals all over the world and I can honestly say Casa Escalera was the best appointed property I’ve ever stayed at. Plenty of supplies (as opposed to the place I stayed at earlier this month where the host left one roll of toilet paper for a 10-day stay) and the kitchen had anything a cook could want and amazing appliances. Everything in this home is high end and perfect for entertaining. We celebrated two family birthdays between Christmas and New Years Day - I can’t think of a better place to have enjoyed LA and those close to us. Lilly and Danny were perfect hosts - attentive, communicative and thoughtful from start to finish. Can’t wait to stay there again!

Good family house

Eclectic 1920s Hollywood house. Beautiful gardens and sitting areas. Very good kitchen. Two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, the third is a bit of a hike up some stairs to a powder room/Bath. The host (Danny) was great. The house does have some persistent musty smells. Completely bizarre neighborhood with beautiful homes next to shacks. Thirty-five steps from the parking area to the front door....not for those with knee issues. we really enjoyed it.

Lovely Home!

We really loved our stay at Casa Escalera! We stayed here with our 5 kids, and the home was large enough for all of us to have our own spaces The home was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and our host was very helpful throughout our stay. The house is centrally located to all the local attractions, yet it is on a safe and quiet street and neighborhood. Above all, we loved the outdoor areas which felt like Mediterranean verandas and a private oasis away from the busy city. We had a wonderful breakfast outside every morning and would often sit outside in the evenings with a drink and a book. It felt so homey and cozy that we did not want to leave! Highly recommend fto anyone looking for a quaint and quiet getaway that is still close to all the LA tourist sites.

Truly fabulous house

I stayed with my family at Casa Escalera for four nights this past February, we were looking at a few universities in the area and showing 2 of my teenagers a little bit of life in the Hollywood/Los Angeles area. The house is in a great neighborhood, located very close to hiking trails, very peaceful. The outdoor gardens and numerous courtyards (and the hummingbirds) were hard to leave each morning to set out on tours . The house itself is full of charm and is meticulously maintained (and I'm a person who literally focuses on thread count and kitchen appliances not just location when choosing a vacation house). The kitchen in particular is amazing and has views for miles with doors opening to the courtyards. I shared many photos with our friends back in NYC and will absolutely return if we are heading back to the area.
