Gorgeous home in serene setting

We were in town for graduation and rented this amazing home. It was incredibly well stocked and even more beautiful than the pictures. Check-in and all communication was easy. The street is very busy but you would never know once inside the home. The master is spacious but the other rooms are fairly small. I stayed in the non-master on the main level (the other is in a loft space) with my husband - although small, it was cozy and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing Oasis in the Heart of LA

We had the most wonderful stay at this property. The owner, Effi, was gracious and responsive. The property itself is pretty magical. The outdoor space is welcoming and relaxing. It was perfect for our family as one of the bedrooms is well removed from the common area so it can be dark and quiet for a baby. The house is also located a short ways from shops and restaurants making it easy to travel to and from. Would definitely stay again!

Gorgeous House and Grounds

This beautiful house is also comfortable and very well-equipped with everything you need. The patio, garden and pool are spectacular! The house is also very private and quiet and owner responds to any question within minutes. As a family group with a couple of people working remotely, and others watching tv or enjoying the pool and patio, we had plenty of space to spread out. We would stay here again with no hesitation! Thanks for everything, Effi! Melissa
