We stayed at the Dresden B&B back in early September last year. Firstly, let me say that it was refreshing to pay such a reasonable price for a convenient location so close to all the sights of Hollywood Boulevard. But I was a little disappointed with my stay, considering how much reviews around the web built this place up. First off, where is the second ‘B’ in this B&B? There was no breakfast offerings at all, so this confused me quite a bit. Secondly, the room we stayed in was nice but was a bit too homey to me. We have stayed in many B&Bs before, and we love coziness as much as the next couple, but the plethora of books and videos under the bed and in all the cabinets made me feel like I was staying in my Aunt’s old library/storage room. All in all, Ms. Dresden was incredibly sweet and friendly and made us feel at home. I just was looking for a few more amenities just to make it feel more like a B&B and less like a family member’s house. After all, we paid for our stay!

Our stay with Dresden was absolutely delightful. She is like our relative who is friendly, offers GREAT advice on where to go and what to see, and takes great care to ensure that our stay is wonderful. Her house is in the perfect location(nice neighborhood, in between all the major attractions, and walkable to Hollywood Blvd). It is clean and cozy. The room size was adequate and all the necessary amenities are there. The price is, of course, unbeatable. We have only great things to say. we would definitely stay here again in the future!

This is really a great place to stay and MS Dresden is a delightful and friendly and she knows her way around LA .Gave us many ideas of places to go. Her dog is absolutely lovely too! I would stay there again if I’m visiting LA and the rooms are only $ 90 that was great too.

I discovered this little-advertised overflow accommodation [ ] across the street from Elaine’s B&B because Elaine’s was fully booked. Ms. Dresden GRAHAM’s bungalow(Cell Phone 323−841−4859) has its original kitchen and bath, and make-your-own breakfast(except coffee). Added benefits: Other guests left eggs, and they were offered to me. Fixing breakfast was less of a problem than anticipated; I ate granola and yogurt with a banana each day. Most B&B’s do not make kitchen facilities available for meals other than breakfast, but this one does. That is a huge cost-saver. I was presented the privilege of adding clothes to a load in the washer & dryer. Guests of mine were welcomed for swimming and a BBQ dinner. I grilled pre-marinated beef from the Trader Joe’s on Sunset Boulevard. A $ 10 shrink-wrapped package served four, and grilled in 5 minutes. The secluded lap pool and Jacuzzi are open 24 hours a day. There are lights around the perimeter(and under water), but you won’t need them. It’s romantic. And there may even be moonlight. Sierra Bonita is a quiet well-located street; not far from the Highland ramps onto the 101 Freeway that seems to lead everywhere, and one block from the John Kelly gourmet chocolate store. There is even a city park close by, for hiking. Payment is cash only, $ 90 a night. If you like to swim, or entertain around a grill, Dresden B&B is a rare find.
