The house is on a quiet residential street in a great neighborhood in Glendale. It was clean with many comforts and all necessities. I met the host briefly but otherwise had a very private stay where I worked by day and toured the LA metro area after. Glendale is a few miles from Los Angeles, a quick ride to the city limit and easy trip to downtown or other area attractions. This was an excellent choice for my son, mom & I during our 9 day stay!
