Cute and comfy stay in central but quiet and lovely neighborhood

This accommodation has everything you need for four people to spend vacation time in the Los Angeles area. We were visiting family and spent a great week in this lovely home in the perfect location. Communicating with the host was easy and seamless and we would highly recommend this clean and lovely home away from home for a stay in lovely California.

Very nice house

I was in this house in March 16. We are 5 in the family and we have enough place for everybody. The house is very clean, in a good neighborhood, close to a lot of restaurants, cvs, target, and other shopping place. Is very close to universal and Hollywood walk of fame. The house is pretty good, have everything, is easy to check in and check out, good communication, you can found a warm patio that you can enjoy also when you are in home. Thank you we were very happy in this hidden gem house.

Once inside the front (back) gate, the property is well kept and generally as described. Owners are nice and responsive. The beds are sufficient but not particularly comfortable. My kids were afraid of both damaging the bunk bed top rail when climbing up and that the top bunk might not support them. Could just be a matter of perception or flimsy bed structure.
