* cats are OK - purrr

* Location: Hollywood

This place is so weird and strange it's totally Hollywood.
Each doorway is different in angles and sharp corners,weirdo windows all throughout the place.
Also with the non functional tower,looks so rad I can't believe they didn't think of something to tie it in somehow.?Fireplace or bathroom even storage?
I love it though,wish it wasn't so expensive and I'm not in the market to rent a new place anyway,Just shocked to see the post.
Maybe Burt Reynolds will be the next to live here.
