We really enjoyed our stay in Joanna's house. It has the character and cosy fealing offering a large patio on the second level and good BBQ amenities (charcoal and gas grills) on the back side area. There's plenty of space in use, two bedrooms, a guest/office room and a family room in downstairs (with Playstation 4 with lots of games, DVD player etc), two full baths and really well working kitchen with all the amenities. The central airconditioner works really well and cools the house quickly after turning it on when you come back home. The house is old but well maintained, having s rustic feeling, which we loved!

The location is very good if you have a car, the SR2 is just 0.5 miles and I5 just in a couple of mins via SR2, so you can reach easily (in relation to LA's traffic) to anywhere.

The house it self is located next to Glassel Park and it's recreational area, where is forexample a large community pool, just in 5 mins walk. The street is tranquil, just few cars passing by in a hour. Though on Tuesday mornings, until noon, there's a lots of traffic by garbage trucs but I think it's the same almost everywhere in LA area when there are many different companys picking up the garbages, recyclables and other.

There are couple of small markets close by (like a fish market, Lutong Bahang, selling lots of fresh sea creatures and limited amount of basic vegetables and other groceries) but with car you can reach Sprouts, Vons and Ralphs in 5 mins and Target and others are within 10 mins drive.

If you're looking a place to stay for your family and have a car, this is your place to meet all your expectations and needs with an amazing price/quality ratio! We would definitely stay at Joanna's hillside house next time if it's available then!
