The space
---> Visit our IG page: @hilltopia.laurelcanyon <---

Gorgeous hilltop Laurel Canyon light filled loft-like studio apartment (lower level of house). Behold owls, hawks, deer, magnificent sunrises and sunsets from this hideaway up in the hills. If you're fortunate enough to catch a morning when the clouds roll in, you'll be able to literally reach out and touch them!

Extremely peaceful and quiet in the heart of renowned Laurel Canyon where musicians Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, The Doors, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Buffalo Springfield, The Eagles, The Mamas & The Papas, Carole King, Sonny and Cher, The Byrds and many more who cultivated the sound of the 60's, loved and played.

*Our home sits high in the hills and entering the premises via the wraparound deck may prove difficult for some if heights are an issue.
*ENTIRE LOFT IS FOR GUEST USE - NOT A SHARED SPACE

Interaction with guests - Always available since we live on the premises.

LA return tour

The views over Laurel Canyon are fantastic, and you're high enough to see mountain ranges in the distance. The Hollywood sign is visible (barely) and the apartment is lovely. Every detail has been well thought out and is very comfortable. From the hosts' warm greeting upon arrival and throughout, we enjoyed our stay. It was a great way to visit LA but stay out of the main hustle and bustle.

Exactly as pictured

We were in town for a quick visit and loved our stay in Laurel Canyon. The place was exactly as described. The space was welcoming and Yvette and Mick were communicative hosts. We would definitely recommend to others and will stay there again if we are in the LA area again. It is convenient to many main attractions.

Amazing

We have stayed in numerous Laurel Canyon homes and this is one of the best. Warmly welcomed by Mick, you could feel the love & pride for the space. It is beautifully decorated and has the most amazing views! The place is so clean, absolutely pristine. Small details that are so much appreciated; from the welcome basket to extra blankets to personalized coffee cups to go with the french press. Parking was easy and the early check in a bonus. We will be back!

Hilltopia Views

The studio is everything they advertise and more! It was very clean and had everything you would need. The views are even better than the photos show. The location was great for our trip as well. Even though it is attached to the hosts home it was VERY private. We never heard them. It was like having our own place in Laurel Canyon! The hosts were responsive but left us to ourselves, except to text me to suggest I look out the window at the amazing rainbow that was rising from the otherside of the canyon! If we return to LA, we will be staying here again!

Cozy Nest

I almost don't want to write a review because it feels like this place should be a secret. We wanted to have a getaway for our 20th wedding anniversary and Hilltopia turned out to be the perfect place. Yvette and Mick are warm, gracious, and attentive hosts. They even had a welcome bottle of sparkling wine for us and a cute little "Happy Anniversary" balloon. The property is a perfect, cozy little nest looking out over Laurel Canyon. I highly recommend curling up in bed with a cup of coffee and watching the sun rise over the hills. We loved watching the ravens swoop by every day (and the red tail hawks nesting nearby). Having Hilltopia as our home base to come back to after adventuring around to see local sites (the Gamble House in Pasadena, the Griffith Observatory, and, of course, the Rainbow Bar & Grill) was great. We finished up every day having a glass of wine and watching the light change and listening to the ravens call across the canyon (we even heard coyotes on our last night there). Visitors should be prepared for navigating narrow, winding roads (and should definitely rent a compact car). Otherwise, just be ready to relax and enjoy the view. We will definitely be staying again!

Quiet, comfortable and lovely space!

We had a wonderful stay at Hilltopia while in town for a wedding at the Houdini Estate. The space was just as described in the hills of Laurel Canyon with a great view. Mick was very helpful on arrival showing us the space and getting our van parked for our stay and checking in via text throughout our stay. Ubering was the easy way to get around. The kitchen was well stocked, bathroom clean and bed super comfortable. Thanks!

Perfect stay at Hilltopia

This place is a dream! It is well located with easy access to Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The place is immaculate and even better than the listing photos. It is very quiet and the view is spectacular. Mick and Yvette were so welcoming and made us feel at home. I would strongly recommend this house to anybody and we will surely be back very soon.

Lovely Laurel Canyon getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hilltopia. This is a special place tucked up in the canyon, but is amazingly accessible to the city. Experiencing Los Angeles from this home-away-from-home was a real treat. The views are even more spectacular than we expected. (If you're heights-averse, this is not the place for you.) We appreciated the attention to detail throughout. The furnishings are serene and comfortable. We were even greeted with a welcome basket of goodies. Mick & Yvette are friendly, gracious hosts who seem like cool people. They strike a nice balance of being nearby in case we needed anything while being hands-off during our stay. Thank you for a fantastic experience! We wouldn't hesitate to return. -Rod & Lisa

Wonderful experience!

Laurel Canyon is a very special place, and Mick and Yvette's Hilltopia is a very special haven in that very special place. The location is great, the views are beautiful, and the attention to detail and comfort are superior. Yvette and Mick go above and beyond with attention to detail that makes the guest feel welcome and valued. I particularly enjoyed the decor that reflects the vibe of the Canyon. The kitchen was well-stocked and featured premium cookware. Similarly, the bathroom was also well-stocked with a great array of amenities. The bed was super comfy - so important when staying away from home!. Don't miss rising early at least one morning to enjoy the sunrise over the Canyon. Also, be sure to take some walks around the neighborhood to enjoy the different views and the interesting mix of architecture. I very much enjoyed my stay at Hilltop and will definitely return.

I never normally do reviews because of the time it takes or just being lazy lol. But this place is by far the best vrbo I’ve ever encountered. The host went above and beyond. The views are out of this world and felt at home as soon as we checked in. Make sure you don’t miss out on visiting here.

Couldn't have been better!

Everything was perfect!! And it was SO clean. The photos are exactly how it looked in person and the views were even better! The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive without being invasive. They even saved us a parking spot right in front of the house while we were out one day when they realized the neighbors were having a party and their guest's cars were taking up all the parking on the street. You can't ask for better service than that. HIGHLY recommend!
