I am not certain that there is a better location than Cristy's house. The location was absolutely perfect for reaching the Santa Monica, the Getty, Westwood, UCLA, LAX and Universal Studios. What I was not aware of is how great the local restaurant scene is around the house. We enjoyed all the delights of the food scene in the area as well as the major attractions.
The house itself is perfect for families. We enjoyed the crystal clear pool and the outdoor deck. Cristy had the house perfectly stocked and everything worked out well for our visit. Whenever we needed anything, Cristy responded in mere minutes to even our smallest questions.
