Barbara's guest house oasis is absolutely perfect. The outdoor setup is very quaint and peaceful and she even offers a really cool fire pit to use and provides the fire wood and fire starter (we didn't use it, although the thought of it was great). As everyone else says, this location is amazing! Literally 20 steps away from Starbucks and Ralphs, and minutes away from everything you want to do in Studio City/Sherman Oaks. The neighborhood was quiet and super nice, even though the main street of Ventura is not far from the home, but you would've never noticed from inside. If you're looking for a relaxing stay, book this!
