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.

Great Stay in Historic Hollywood Neighborhood!

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!

Grounded Peaceful Space.

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.

Quiet and comfortable

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.

Cute West Hollywood nook

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.

Very nice place

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.

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.

Fabulous Artsy studio in WeHo

We loved our stay. Carine & Pascal were terrific hosts. The unit was just as it appeared online. Anyone who knows LA, this is “the it” neighborhood. Within walking to Runyon Canyon…it’s also a historic district so walking around all of the Los Angeles bungalows was a treat.

About the host

Hosted by Carine Giacomini

Host profile image
Carine Fabius is a Haitian-American author, museum curator and art dealer. Pascal Giacomini is a French-American sculptor, photographer & filmmaker. We are a married couple who met in Los Angeles, started a Haitian art gallery in our home (Galerie Lakaye was written up in Vanity Fair Magazine!). We love to cook, entertain, hang out with our friends and we love the arts! In a former lifetime, Pascal used to be a tour guide, so he knows L.A. like the back of his hand, and can recommend the best places and sites for you to visit, if you want to see the REAL L.A.

Why they chose this property

We looked for a long time before finding this house, which is a traditional Craftsman house built in 1913. Its charm captured our hearts the first time we saw the "for rent" sign and looked in through the living-room window! We lived in it for 10 years before buying it in 1999. We would never go anywhere else. We love this neighborhood and we have the best neighbors.

What makes this property unique

When you are on our property, you have the best that L.A. has to offer. You are right in the center of Hollywood, but you feel like you are in the countryside because of all the lush landscaping. It's beautiful and quiet here. And people always tell us that they feel a sense of peace when they enter the premises.
