A Place To Make Core Memories!

My friends and I stayed at Casa Escalera during our annual friends reunion trip and we had such an amazing time! The space is so inviting, cozy and beautiful. We loved it so much that we split our time between staying indoors and exploring LA. We enjoyed family meals outside, playing the piano and relaxing inside and of course soaking in all that LA had to offer as well. My dog loved the space too. Highly recommend!

Awesome, gorgeous, awesome!

This couldn't be a more exquisite place to stay! We are displaced because of the Eaton Fire and Lilly was so kind and thoughtful with us as we figured out how Casa Escalera could happen for us. The flowers, the plants, the back yard, the walks around the neighborhood and each of the rooms themselves are just gorgeous. Can't recommend this beautiful home and iTrip enough!

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!

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!

Wonderful stay

We saved the best for the last. We trully enjoyed the house, and our family had a wonderful time together on the occasion of our son’s graduation. The house is even more beautiful than it shows on the web. The owner’s responses very quick when I had a question. Our family will definitely stay here again when we’re back to LA.

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!

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.

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.

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.
