We came here for a trip to Universal Studios, and the house is so close, you could walk there. We ended up taking a Lyft for the most part which ran us about 5-10 dollars per trip. The house itself felt like it was in a safe area, and the gated lot gave us another sense of security. The house was very clean and had everything we needed, we could have used more blankets, but the house was still very comfortable. The only negative was we could hear neighbors through the walls, which makes me think they probably could hear us as well. We ended up getting a fan to drown out the noise, and we still slept very well. The hosts were very responsive and available at ALL hours of the day.
