The place is just as described. Very clean. Convenient location for us as my family is in San Fernando. There are grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and a hospital nearby. Six Flags or Universal Studios is just a 20 min drive. Northridge, Burbank, Glendale, are all under 25 min drive (without traffic). If you are visiting to go further out like Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Lego Land, etc., I recommend that you find a place much closer to those theme parks because traffic is crazy. Our drive back from Manhattan Beach took 2 hours when it only takes about an hour without traffic. Other than traffic being a pain, this visit was great and our stay at Vanessa’s place was enjoyable. I would stay with this host again. Thank you!
