    Nothing in particular, everything was super nice.

    Awesome host, location, bed, tiny things like a super soft bathrobe, wireless chargers, plugs next to bed, USB plugs, small fridge. The hosts really thought about everything. It's a beautiful old Hollywood home that's worth visiting. Definitely one of the best experiences ever. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore LA for few days or more.

    Nothing at all would definitely stay again!!!

    Was very much against staying at a homestay until i stayed with Shay and Ginger. Could not recommend them enough!! They were so accommodating to any questions or issues we had and were genuinely some of the nicest people i've ever met. For the price you cannot go wrong, room is super clean, smells amazing and they have any necessity you might need. To top it all off the location could not be better, right off the main strip but in a quiet cosy street.

    Keypad entry, I'm number dyslexic.

    Location, you would never know you were right there in the gateway to Hollywood. Bars and restaurants and mere minutes away. The metro is a couple of blocks, so you are right between downtown and Universal Studios..

    Shay & Ginger are incredible hosts who really made me feel welcome in their house. The house is comfortable, clean and peaceful. I didn't want to leave! The location is great too, only 2 steps away from the Walk of Fame and the metro. The Hollywood sign is visible from the other end of the street and there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars around. Overall, a great stay! I'll definitely book with them again next time I'm in LA.

    The house was lovely extremely clean and with more than enough of amenities you need. It felt like home, the vibe was lovely the location excellent, in 4 minutes there was shops and restaurants. I loved the way everything was there for guests and that also was so clean! The best for me it was to get off the shoes before going into the house, this is a big congratulations because it stands out the quality of people living and providing this service. The bed and the pillows were extremely comfortable which make me wanna stay in bed rather go out! I loves it!Lovely host and great talking, guiding and recommending places etc. I highly recommend, it's a very unique place with a lot of love from the hostes.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    The warm welcome from the wonderful hosts Shay and Ginger. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. The facilities were also great in this unique, character filled property, which has a very central location. Highly recommend....book early to avoid disappointment ! Many thanks to you both, for your kind hospitality. Keep on rocking ! Matt and Elaine

    The hosts are very accommodating but the kitchen and common seating spaces are shared with them and this can make it feel awkward if you want to just stay in and cook or just have your own breakfast together. Probably our fault that we didn't do enough checking before booking.

    The hosts are very friendly and the bedrooms very comfortable. Great attention to detail. Very quiet location and yet still in the heart of la.

    Nothing - everything perfect

    We had an amazing time at the House of Alchemy. Loved the neighborhood, loved the house -the room, the interior, the garden - everything was perfect for us. Additionally Shay is an incredible host. She takes care of everything for her guests. We had a free parking lot, washing machine for use was there, drinking water next to the sink and even an umbrella in the room! There was nothing else we could have asked for.

    There is one bathroom for two rooms, so it depends who is in the other one.

    I think the best location, if you want to visit Walk of fame. 5 minutes walking and you can see the stars on the ground. And not so far away from metro or bus station.

    The only problem I had was that there were no power outlets available close to my bed side. Although, there was one close to the bedroom door on my partner's side of the bed so it's not a major issue

    The owner is incredibly nice and helpful. The room was super comfortable and clean. As a bonus, the hollywood boulevard was within walking distance of the apartment (and having anything touristy within walking distance in LA is luxurious enough to be mentioned)

    A room in a shared flat with 2 lively dogs and a warm household

    Maybe we just did not pay enough attention to detail when booking, and personal preferences should not be mixed with good/bad ratings. But the advertisement does portray a high-end, high comfort, high privacy stay, when in fact it is really just an AirBnb-style single room in a shared flat setting with a shared bathroom. It's a highly unusual accommodation for booking.com standards, and I was really reminded of my student times, sharing a flat. - Despite being advertised as highest "privacy" and "tranquility", it really is quite an immersive experience, with a very friendly landlord explaining where to put your shoes, how to park the car straight, and 2 very lively dogs between your feet every now and then - The shared bathroom (incorrectly advertised as 'private' at the time of our booking) is opposite to the kitchen, so if you roam there in boxers you might want to greet the landlord in the kitchen - The room itself is OK - rather on the small side with very hard pillows - The description is overall too strong on the storytelling side of things when compared to facts: -- there is a garden in the backyard and of course the house has windows, I am not sure I would call that a "view" -- there is a sofa in the kitchen, not sure that constitutes a "lounge" -- the house has a kitchen, not sure I would call that a "café" -- of course the house has a standard central heating system (overhead/ceiling air outlets), but there is no individual temperature control/AC in/for the room. It was intermittently blowing hot and cold air straight into the bed - we did in fact have a slight cold the next few days - probably related

    Super friendly hosts Very secure, including on-site parking Perfect location Very clean Nicely decorated Free premium toiletries Great free coffee & tea Lots of plants, scent of incense and scented candles
