LOVED staying at Tal's place! I was there for three nights with two 10 year olds. But we could have easily accommodated 6-8 adults. Tal was friendly, responsive and gave lots of suggestions for activities in the area.
The location is perfect for touring everywhere in the city. 10 min to Universal, 4 min (20 min walk) drive to Hollywood sites, 10 min to LaBrea and Melrose.
The house was perfect for me and two 10 year olds. Everyone got their own queen bed. There was even an air mattress in addition to the 3 queens! We lounged around in our pajamas watching TV and eating take out or simple meals we prepared when we were not touring. I had to work remotely some of the time, which worked out great because I stayed in the room upstairs which had two desks. There's a public pool across the street which we went to.
I'd highly recommend Tal's place for families, couples traveling together, or a group of friends. We had not one complaint the whole time!
