It's an older place but Christopher definitely did a good job turning it into one that accommodates guests' needs well. I love that everything inside the unit works and it has cute decors and state of the art furnishings in the bathroom. Just note that parking is a little too tight for 2 cars, luckily my husband is a good driver and knows how to park. I wouldn't have been able to park properly. That being said, once you're parked, your car is inside a gate which gave us peace of mind. Location is about 10 minute drive to Universal Studios, an hour drive to Disneyland and 30 minute drive to Santa Monica Pier. These times are all considering traffic, otherwise they will be less. It is also very close to restaurants (Tom's Burgers is across the street), 7-11 and Ralph's grocery is 15 minute walk. Over all, I think it's a great deal!
