Wonderful Evening
We enjoyed a wonderful evening in the house with our international friends! This was their first time in the US and the comfort of the house was very appreciated. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen very well stocked, the outdoor spaces welcoming, and the parking convenient. So many food options very close to the home and a lovely welcome basket of little snacks. The coffee maker was a welcome addition. Communication with the host was stellar and instant, and always helpful. We will absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone who wants to stay in the area.

We stayed two nights for our annual Universal Studios Horror Nights trip and decided to stay in a house versus a hotel. The check-in was quick, the home was very clean, stocked with plenty of towels, and kitchen had all the necessities. The host communicated with us throughout the stay and I felt we would be able to quickly contact the host with any concerns had they arisen. Overall, this was a sucessful stay and would stay again.

Universal studios trip
We used this place for a mini family vacation. It was great for our large family. The commute to universal was 25-30 min with traffic. All the appliances worked great especially the coffee machine which we used a lot. The rooms were a perfect setting for us. Family area/kitchen were very open and inviting. There’s private parking for at least two cars which in California is amazing although it involves a little maneuvering. There’s no direct access to the yard from the inside of the home but that wasn’t an issue for us since we didn’t use the area. No issues with neighborhood, neighbors or community since it is secluded. Overall great house and I would book again.

Perfect Getaway !!
We stayed in the home for our Christmas break with our family and kids. We had good time and the home was perfect with all amenities listed the most accurate way possible. There were 2 minor issues but Shawn and his team handled it perfectly and followed up with us whether we are satisfied or not. Overall it was a nice home and I’m glad we made some lasting Christmas memories.

Picked this property because of its proximity to Universal, because it best fit our party’s sleeping needs and the reasonable price. Property was clean, beds were good and communication with the host was exceptional!! House is on the corner of 2 busy streets but made to feel private by large bushes. We were happy with our stay.

Booked this house for a few nights and we loved it! So welcoming and warm. Felt like it could have been our own. Rooms are spacious. Chairs were super comfortable to relax in at the end of the night and watch some Tv. Pretty much a fully stocked kitchen so we were able to make a few dinners at the house. The beds were great! So comfy! Very convenient having a washer/dryer. Convenient location for our itinerary. Close to stores as well. Would definitely rent again. Shawn is an amazing host.

Overall the property fit our needs which accommodated our group of 10. The location was very convenient to universal studios and the hollywood walk of fame. There are abundance of resturants in the vincinty and a grocery stores. The only thing is you have to pay attention to where you turn because you may miss the house.

Not for me
Overall, I had a mixed experience with this rental. The house was tucked away behind a hedge and had plenty of parking. It was also big with 4 bedrooms and it was available within a short notice. However, there were a few negative aspects that made my stay less than enjoyable. First, there were cockroaches! I saw them in the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedrooms. This was very gross and made me feel uncomfortable. Second, the mattress was very uncomfortable. I'm 30 years old and I have no back problems, but I woke up the next morning unable to move. The mattress was not comfortable at all. Overall, I don't not recommend this rental home. The positive aspects were outweighed by the negative aspects.

Clean and convenient but some issues.
Overall the stay was ok. It is right on the corner of a busy street so the traffic noise in the house is substantial. The beds were very soft so a trip to my chiropractor was needed when I got home. Don’t count on the roll out twin beds unless small kids will be on them. The mattresses are very thin. The tv is satellite so though we tried to watch a football game, weather prevented it. The propane was empty on the grill and while we could have filled it, the inconvenience made it less than ideal. Overall, it worked. It was clean and secure. The communication was timely and the only big things were the soft beds and the traffic noise. Also, the master bedroom frame creaks loudly with the slightest movement. It was nice having laundry on site and having room for three cars was great. It can be hard to get out in the morning with traffic because it is right on the corner.
