Location was good for me since close proximity to family. Inside very clean and had basic necessities. Host was very quick to respond to questions. Only drawback was outdoor areas are a bit depressing- all dirt and uncut weeds. All in all worked out well for us. I’d stay there again but would not attempt to have morning coffee outside again.
Quinn was great. Communicative and was even able to let us get in early without a question which was super helpful. The house was super clean and really beautiful. It was perfect for what we needed it for!Thank you!!!
The house was centrally located to everything we needed to do. It was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again

Loved this place and will stay again! Well kept, clean and very cute decor. It had all of the comforts of home. My daughter is applying to CSU Northridge and this will be our go to place to stay!
We had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, the kitchen was ready for all of our cooking. Quinn was fast and easy to communicate with. We were very pleased with our stay!
In for the World Series and this House was perfect. Clean and in perfect location. Host very accommodating and the response times for any questions was impeccable. Would definitely recommend.
There for an expensive medical procedure. Would have had to have two hotel rooms and pay for parking. This was very comfortable and saved us a lot of money.
This was a very nice place with easy check in/out. Clean and comfortable. Nicely outfitted kitchen, bath (dual sinks) and laundry. Quick access to 101 and 405. Driveway to park in was a nice feature. A good place to hang out in or use as a launching spot to see LA.
We came to celebrate Thanksgiving with family that lives 15 min away.
The kitchen was fully equipped and beds were very comfortable. We were two adults and space was great and everything was very clean.
I can only suggest a better care of the front lawn of the property.
We visited Lake Balboa, an excellent place to walk/run.
Private parking, very nice and comfortable, hot shower ( but low pressure water spray) and low toilet ( mobility issues) A minus grade.Thumbs up recommendation for sure, reasonable rules and price!
