Alison and her husband were very welcoming and made sure that I had everything I needed. They were super nice and went "over and above" to be helpful and available. Wonderful hosts! Provided great information on local restaurants. Very private apartment for one person with its own entrance, on the lower level of the house, with beautiful swimming pool just outside your door. Nice bathroom and kitchen, well equipped. Located on a quiet street close to everything in Sherman Oaks/Studio City, just up the hill from Ventura Blvd, but in a very charming neighborhood. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe there. Will definitely stay there again!
