Great affordable house

We enjoyed our stay here. The location is right next to a busy street so keep that in mind but they did have fans in the rooms which drown out any sounds at night so make sure to turn them on. There is a big hedge along the side/front of the house that is a buffer from the street. The house was clean and the beds are amazingly comfortable. We slept so good from the very first night which is unusual for us . Shawn is very easy to communicate with. If you are looking for an affordable comfortable place to stay I would recommend!

Clean and spacious home. Had everything we needed. A market across the street was a plus. Plenty of FIRM mattress. Nice BBQ area. The only thing was how laud it was at night with the cars passing on the buzy side street next to the house.

Universal Studios

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.

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.

Universal Studios

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.

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.

Bday Trip

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.
