Cherokee

The garden

Cherokee's entrance is on Cherokee Avenue, around the corner from the front unit, and its garden is entirely its own: a fenced lawn under a pepper tree, a side patio along the garden path, a back patio, and a deck with an outdoor dining table that seats six. The bedrooms look out onto the garden through the original wood windows.

Rates and booking

We host stays of 31 nights or more; many guests stay two to four months. Booked direct, Cherokee is $4,530 a month, utilities and cleaning included, or $4,400 if you pay by bank transfer or cash, about 13% less than the same home on Airbnb. You get a short furnished-stay agreement to sign and a payment link; the booking terms are short too.

If you would rather book on Airbnb, Cherokee is listed there as Secret Garden Home in the Heart of Hollywood. We have been a Superhost every year since 2015, and the homes are consistently among the top-rated on Airbnb.

Where it is

1408 N Cherokee Avenue, at De Longpre, Los Angeles 90028: two blocks south of Sunset Boulevard, across the street from De Longpre Park and its playground. The Walk of Fame is about a ten-minute walk, the Hollywood/Highland and Hollywood/Vine Metro stations are walkable, and Universal Studios is one stop on the B Line. The other half of the duplex, De Longpre, is a mirror image of this one that sleeps six, and the two are fully independent.
