About this property
Artistic Haven in Hollywood with Pool, Hot Tub, Cabana, and Garden
Exclusive, quiet, and private. As featured in Jones Around the World (Best Airbnbs in Los Angeles)
Get ready to be charmed when you stay in our beautifully appointed and exceptional artistic hideaway, just a 10-minute walk from Grauman's Chinese Theatre in the heart of Hollywood. Enjoy sleeping in a custom-made queen-size bed by French-American owner and sculptor/photographer/filmmaker Pascal Giacomini, who hand-built many of the space's delightful and unique metal and wood furnishings. Completely renovated spacious studio apartment with separate sleeping area and private entrance. Gorgeous new bathroom with marble walls and stone tile floor. Grounds and apartment filled with sculptures and art from Haiti, Papua New Guinea, Brazil, Bali, and Thailand. Our main house has been operating as a private (by appointment) art gallery for over 30 years. (The only reason we don't call this a small one bedroom is because we chose to separate the bedroom from living area with curtains instead of a door cause we like the flow better!)
This is not a shared space, it is your own private apartment that is the downstairs unit of the main house. You are welcome to use the backyard, pool, hot tub, and cabana. Pool can be heated (March- October) for a fee of $100 per night. Please request the pool heater prior to your stay. It'll take about 24 hours to heat. Pool can be used without a heater at your convenience.
Centrally located with many restaurants and the best margaritas in town, all within walking distance. 10-minute walk to Runyon Canyon for spectacular hiking. 5-10 min drive to groceries, shopping, restaurants. 35-40 min drive to the beach. So much to do here.
Parking permit provided free.

Carine and Pascal are wonderful hosts. They are friendly, but give you all the privacy you want. Communication is easy. The cottage is equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, bath, living area and bedroom. Bonus if you want a soak in the hot tub. We loved the art surrounding us inside and out: A ton (literally?) of creative metal sculptures and joyful colors. This place is a quiet oasis in Hollywood.
Fantastic little hide out... love our stay and you will too. Very safe and quiet.

This property is so cute... it's a must see! The hosts are so creative & talented, and that reflects everywhere inside & out on the property. We had the pleasure of meeting them & wow, just great people! Walking distance to the Sunset strip & we also experienced our first Waymo driver-less ride! We would 100% stay here again!
it's like staying at
We loved our week long stay at this lovely studio! It’s within walking distance of Runyon Canyon, Hollywood and Sunset, and lots of great unique restaurants. We would definitely recommend this place to any groups of 2!!
Surrounded by a wide variety of art, this truly was an artistic haven. The hosts were very generous, very warm and friendly! I hope to stay there again!
The property was as described - comfortable, good outdoor space, great neighborhood, really nice hosts! January 2025 was a challenging time to be in Los Angeles, and the hosts were really helpful and wonderful.
My husband and I were in town for a wedding, and we really enjoyed staying here. The space was clean, inviting, and unique -- we really enjoyed living amidst art (even using one piece as a hanger for my jacket!). The exterior space was also lovely. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful and peaceful artistic retreat! Centrally located. Excellent hosts. Definitely request an appointment to check out the beautiful art gallery upstairs!
My friend and I loved this home! The house was central to everything we planned for our girls trip. Carine was very warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!
The hosts were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. The place is just as listed and in a great area. Can't say enough how nice the hosts are and would recommend their place to anyone.u wife and I had a great stay there and if ever back in LA, we will be asking to stay there.
We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean and as advertised. Perfect for our needs. Within walking distance of all Hollywood history, but nestled in a quiet, secure established residential area. Would visit again.
This is in a perfect location to visit lots of amazing places. The place is super cozy & artsy. We did not hang out in the backyard, but it is super cute. Wonderful hosts so helpful and friendly. You will love it!
The apartment was perfect for our stay. It was super clean, well stocked and quiet. The location was ideal for us since we wanted to see all of the Hollywood sights including Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills, motion picture studio tours, etc. Our hosts were great! Carine gave great instructions and communicated promptly, making it easy for us. Included on-street parking was a plus. Would highly recommend this apartment!
The property is conveniently located in West Hollywood close to Hollywood Blvd and all its attractions. Super clean with an amazing display of metal sculptures and other art pieces.
Just as advertised—a solid, peaceful spot where you can truly relax. The sculpture garden feels like a hidden gem in the middle of West Hollywood’s energy. The 1920s neighborhood still carries its old-school charm, giving the whole place a sense of history and character that’s hard to find.
This property was very close to everything in Hollywood. My wife and I stayed there during a trip to universal studios. I would recommend for anyone who wants a cozy room with close proximity to many Hollywood attractions.
My wife & I spent 4 nights in this wonderful space. The space is very well appointed & the hosts were very gracious. We loved the art in and around the apartment, house & backyard, and enjoyed the gazebo every evening for a bit of relaxation. The neighborhood is wonderful - an oasis in the middle of W. Hollywood! We will definitely stay again when we return to LA.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and we never had a problem finding parking on the street (parking pass provided). The apartment is exactly as pictured: compact, efficient, clean, comfortable. Access to the outdoor area is a real benefit. The owners, Carine and Pascal, are hosts who are kind, caring, and have provided everything needed. We loved the location, too. The area of Sunset Blvd the house is nearest isn't the nicest, but it does have an excellent Mexican restaurant. It seemed a bit rundown but not dangerous in any way. The house itself it about a block away and in a lovely quiet residential area.
We spent 9 nights and would not hesitate to stay here again. The location worked very well for us. The space was clean and comfortable.
Thanks to the clear directions and good communication of the hosts the self check in process was very easy. Parking on their street was no problem. Carine and Pascal were friendly, helpful and very responsive.
Just a heads up that there are a few steps down to the unit which may be tricky if you have mobility issues but for most people it’s no problem.
Carine and Pascal were wonderful hosts! When I had trouble getting the directions to the location, they emailed me the directions. The directions to check-in were perfect and had pictures with wording to direct us as needed. Other items in the apartment were also labeled making it easy to know what to do. Carine also emailed me a list of suggestions to do and restaurants to visit, which was very helpful. We ate out 3 nights and every restaurant was great (Electric Owl, Bossa Nova, and Aroma). The location is great as it's easy to get around using the buses or the metro, such as right up to the door of the Griffith Observatory! Other sites are in walking distance, the Walk of Fame and Grauman's (now TCL) Chinese Theater. The place is colorfully decorated, and the bathroom is very nicely done. The bed was comfortable, and every appliance worked perfectly. The hot tub was a definite plus! Thank you Carine and Pascal for a wonderful stay!
