ABOUT MY HOME
This traditional farmhouse was designed by noted Los Angeles architect Robert Byrd and built in 1939. Byrd was known for his modern "indoor–outdoor" style that we have tried to live up to and his use of bird houses embedded in the actual structure. You will notice the two bird houses on the front of the house above the windows of the second story. This is a Standalone Construction that is 2,000 square foot home with no shared walls on a 10,000 square foot lot with the original wood floors and brick fireplaces remain in the original rooms of the house. Private, Fenced Side and Backyards. Front yard to street (no fence). House is a on tranquil, low traffic street with no connecting through streets on either side which is a perk the layout of the neighborhood provides. You would be renting the entire property to enjoy and we would not be on the premises.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD / VALLEY VILLAGE
The house is located in a quiet pocket neighborhood that is 2 blocks by 8 blocks in the heart of Valley Village, California. The quaint 2.09-square-mile Valley Village lies a hop skip and a jump from Universal City, just north of Studio City, east of Sherman Oaks and Encino, southwest of North Hollywood and west of Burbank in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.

OUR BEDS / SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
In the master bedroom, there is one queen-size four-poster bed handmade in Charleston, SC - (2 people). In the second bedroom there is a queen size bed - (2 people). In the third bedroom in the upstairs loft, there are two twin beds and one twin size trundle bed - (3 people) (no door / no closet). A comfortable sofa the size of a single bed sits in front room that has a thicker cushion than most mattresses - (1 person). The den couch opens up into a queen size sofa bed (2 people). We have two blow up mattresses a queen and a twin if needed to set up anywhere in the open areas of the house - (3 people). The Queen Air Mattress is Intex Queen 22" DuraBeam High Rise Airbed Mattress and the Twin is a Brookstone 24" Memory Foam Bed both with Built-in inflate/deflate air pump that fully inflates and deflates in minutes. Sleeps 9 - 13 total sleeping spot options.

EASY TO GET TO
Great access right off Laurel Canyon - a half a mile from the 170 freeway (exit Burbank), 1.5 miles from the 101 (exit Laurel Canyon), and 4.5 miles from the 405 (exit Burbank).

PARKING
We have four spots in the driveway and there is street parking if needed - no parking permits required or meters. Only exception is there is no street parking for weekly street cleaning every Wednesday (Westside - across the street) and Thursday (Eastside - closest to house) from 8 to 10 AM.

CLOSE TO UNIVERSAL, WARNER BROS, HOLLYWOOD, WEST HOLLYWOOD, BEVERLY HILLS AND WESTSIDE
We have welcomed so many incredible families on adventures to Universal that is so close - less than 5 miles away by car or a luxury option in LA being 1 mile from a subway station that is one stop from Universal City (save on parking and driving!). We are a hop skip and a jump to Warner Brothers (5 Miles), Hollywood (6 miles), West Hollywood (6.5 Miles) and over the hill from Beverly Hills (9 Miles). For a day on the West Side, Brentwood is just 14 miles and a day at the beach, the the Santa Monica Pier is 20 Miles.

POOL SPA HEATER
The pool and jacuzzi are cleaned and serviced twice weekly for your enjoyment as part of the overall rental - both are available to be used all year long with or without the heater. The heater is included for the pool and jacuzzi, but not kept heated when no one is there. We let any guest handle heating the pool and jacuzzi directly so that you are in control of your temperature preferences upon arrival and throughout your stay.

We want to ensure our property is the perfect retreat for your great escape, so let us know any other questions you may have about the house, property, neighborhood, your plans or even suggestions while you are in LA if you decided to leave the sanctuary of the backyard.

We look forward to hosting you and welcoming you to beautiful SoCal!

Grotto in the City

The aroma of the orange trees, fresh squeezed orange juice, mid day splash and midnight soak, made for the perfect vacation get-a-way at this gem of a house. Located 15 min from our Wizarding Adventures and Battle with Baby Bowser at Universal Studios. We loved the convience of grocery delivery and door dash for our ever moving crew.

Great time in a great house

Chad was great with communication and super easy to get ahold of. The house was fantastic and the perfect size for our family. We had a great time with the pool and hot tub and the location is perfectly central to explore LA. The house was easy to find. Very clean and well stocked and organized. We had a great time and would definitely rent again.

Wonderful house for families

Leading up to, during, and after our stay, Chad was a great communicator. Having open comms between rentee and renter can definitely provide peace of mind and allow you to enjoy your stay that much more. Thank you, Chad, for being responsive! As for the property, it is spacious and a wonderful spot to relax (enjoyed the tranquility of the backyard/landscaping/fruit trees with actual grass!). Many properties in/around LA do not offer such a lush garden so my family really appreciated that. The kitchen had everything we needed, great space for families of five (the loft was a hit with our son!), and the location served our needs well. Highly recommend Chad's place and will definitely return when we visit LA again.

Great house! Fantastic pool and spa! Great neighborhood with access to everything LA offers

There were five of us all 62 years old. We absolutely loved it. We all slept well and ate well and the house was very comfortable. We used the pool and the spa a lot. Chad was a good host and very communicative with us about any questions, etc. if we ever get a chance to do this again, we would absolutely rebook.

We hosted our elopement and bridal party at this wonderful home over a weekend and it was everything we couldve asked for and more. The yard is the jewel of this home, with the pool/spa being the best feature of the rental. Owner was so communicative and kind. Everything was fantastic and this was the perfect background for the happiest day of our lives.

My daughters 16th bday celebration with friends

I can say that Chad is the best host i have ever dealt with all my rental stays experiences all these years .The place is just perfect for my daughters 16th bday celebration with sleepover with her friends . The neighborhood feels safe . From cleanliness to organization , this place exceeded my expectations .the house and furnitures might be old but the host was able to preserve the beauty of everything for the young generation to enjoy . The back yard is the highlight of the stay .the teens enjoyed the pool Gave me an idea of how i want my backyard to look like . The host was very generous to share the fruits in the backyard so the teens were able to enjoy the experience of fruit picking in the morning . All the pictures taken looks awesome because of all the garden and flowers in front of the house .Thank you for sharing this wonderful place to us . Such a joy even for a short time .

Serene backyard

Stayed two nights. Communication with the host from initial contact until the end of our stay was great. Our check-in was seamless and we had all the information we needed about the property and neighborhood before we arrived. Kitchen was well equipped and plenty of seating for our multi generational family. Everything throughout the property was thoughtfully labeled (even the types of trees!) and organized. We enjoyed reading about the history of house. The outdoor space is terrific!

Best Place to Stay in LA

Even though the home is located in the city, you feel as though you are in a quiet suburban neighborhood. The backyard is an oasis with fruit trees, pool/spa, deck and plenty of seating. The inside is very nice and feels very homey. We absolutely loved how organized the home way, we didn't have to wonder what to do or where things were located. Will absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful home and location.

The house was just as described. We especially loved the fruit trees in the backyard. We picked oranges, lemons and grapefruit daily. I made lemon sorbet for the first time and it was delicious, probably due to the freshness of the lemons. The hot tub heated quickly and was great after a long day. Chad was a great host, everything was well appointed and well labeled with easy instructions. We will definitely return when we come back to the LA area. Thank you Chad for opening your home to us.

Perfect Oasis!!!

It was a whirlwind trip for us: coming from WA and NY states on a Thursday afternoon...we met at the airport; attended a college graduation in LA on Friday; and flew to our respective homes on Saturday. There were 4 of us...needing 3 rooms. From Olivera St to Irvine to see family -- strolls on the neighboring beaches to celebrations in the city -- our short time was on-the-go! But some of our most perfect memories will be at this wonderful home. The downtime between the rush was as important as our big-events: and this retreat-stay didn't disappoint. The peacefulness of the sanctuary grounds was a breath of fresh air: the citrus trees; the flowers; the charm that we were in a distant country! Beds were perfect. Bathrooms were clean. The Kitchen well-equipped. And the warm of the farmhouse vibe nestled us all!!! Thank you so, so much for allowing us to enjoy this escape -- when outside our door the world-whirled and beckoned in a whole another way! We'll be BACK!!!! Glad to have found a 'go-to' landing spot for this wonderful corner of the country!!!

It was great… loved the house and the backyard was amazing. Felt safe in the neighborhood, but the backyard offered enough privacy that it didn’t feel like the neighbors were so close. Great communication with the owners or management company if we needed something or needed to let them know what was going on.
