This was the perfect place to stay for our family of five - we were an easy drive from everything we wanted to see (Hollywood Blvd., downtown LA, Griffith Observatory, Warner Brothers Studios, Rodeo Drive, etc.), we had plenty of room (and two bathrooms!), felt right at home because the hosts were so friendly, felt that we were in a very safe location, and appreciated that we could park our car safely inside the gate. We were also close to lots of conveniences - CVS, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, etc. Our three teenaged daughters LOVED the upstairs - the huge bathroom and the open loft area with a tv - a great spot to hang out after long, busy days. We also enjoyed the hot tub almost every night - the view of the house with its glowing windows - we could even hear an owl hooting! - was almost magical. Wish we could have stayed longer! We would go back in a heartbeat.
