Sam’s place is truly something special. This is a must stay if you are in the universal/Hollywood area. The house is charming and comfortable and very well decorated. The location is close to universal. It was an easy 10 min walk to the universal shuttle. It is very easy to get to, but the house feels private and the neighborhood was great. There is some construction going on next to the property but he was very up front about this first before accepting the reservation. Since we were gone all day it didn’t bother us at all, but it should be considered if you need to be at the house during the day. Sam added special touches with a typed note and bottle of wine and was extremely communicative throughout. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back again.
