Cityscape Lodging
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Cityscape Lodging is a fully renovated one-bedroom, one-bath apartment-style home in Burbank, Los Angeles, designed to comfortably sleep up to four guests. Set within the prime media district, it blends residential comfort with a smoke-free, air-conditioned interior finished in hardwood floors. The property functions more like a private home than a traditional hotel, giving guests an apartment-living experience in the heart of the entertainment industry.
Unit & Amenities
The apartment includes a newly updated kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, plus a front-load washer and dryer, ironing board, and all core cooking essentials. Guests also get central air conditioning and heating, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and free private parking on site. An outdoor backyard space with a BBQ grill gives the unit a rare outdoor living component not typical of standard hotel rooms.
Dining & Surroundings
The location is walkable to a strong lineup of restaurants, including The Capital Grille just steps away, along with Novo Cafe, The Mouth, JINYA Ramen Bar, The Girl & The Chicken, and Smoke House Restaurant, all within about half a mile. This puts a wide range of cuisines, from fine dining to ramen and burgers, within easy reach without needing a car for meals.
Location & Media District
Cityscape Lodging sits in Burbank, often called the media capital of the world, near major studio operations including Disney Studios, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, and NBC. Public transit is close by, with the Olive/Hollywood, Riverside/Hollywood Way, and Hollywood Way/Alameda bus stops all within a few hundred meters, plus Burbank - Downtown train station and Hollywood Burbank Airport within a few kilometers.
Best for
This property suits travelers who want a self-catering, home-like base rather than a conventional hotel room, especially those visiting Burbank for entertainment-industry business given its proximity to Disney, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, and NBC. It also works well for small families or groups of up to four thanks to the full kitchen, washer/dryer, and backyard grill area, and for travelers who prefer walking to restaurants and using nearby bus stops over renting a car for every trip.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the nearby bus stops (Olive/Hollywood, Riverside/Hollywood Way, and Hollywood Way/Alameda are all under 400 meters away) for quick trips around Burbank without a car. Hollywood Burbank Airport is the most convenient air option at under 6km away, while LAX is roughly 24km and best planned for with extra travel time. Since free private parking is included, driving in is straightforward, and the walkable restaurant row nearby means dinner reservations can be made without factoring in transit time.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the comfort of the home, highlighting a particularly comfortable bed and describing the backyard as a peaceful retreat, with several noting they return on repeat visits to Burbank. The overall sentiment is strongly positive regarding the property's homey feel and location. One reviewer raised a significant concern about a nearby gas leak emergency, noting a delay in receiving evacuation notification, though this was described as outside the property's direct control. Aside from that isolated safety-communication issue, feedback centers on comfort, ambiance, and the appeal of the outdoor space.
