Carmen was a fantastic host who took care of us during a very scary time. The house looks beautiful and many of the furnishings are brand new including all new appliances, however the bones of the house are a bit older. The natural light in the house is wonderful, as is the backyard and orange tree. It’s important to note though, that the house is in the Burbank flight path. We had a couple of emergencies and either Carmen or her mom were very responsive and there for us. For long term stays or those who cook, the kitchen could use more supplies as it was missing some essentials. Bottom line: Carmen provides great hospitality and with a little bit more of investment in kitchenware, her place would be a terrific place to stay in Toluca Woods.
