I felt very much at home. Everyone staying there felt like relatives and we became fast friends. The house was clean (plus or minus a few stray ants). It was a little tricky to find the house, but that is because it shares a driveway with two other houses. The neighborhood was pleasant, never had any trouble with the neighbors. The rules of the house were pretty straight forward (clean up after yourself, make your bed, don't eat other people's food). It is a great place to stay if you are an intern for film like I was. It was only about 30 minutes away from the Hollywood area if traffic was good. I give Lisa and House Manager Natalie Five out of Five star rating. This is definitely a great place to stay a few nights, or even five weeks (like me). Very reasonably priced for the room (men or women).
