If you are in need of a place to stay in Glendale, you can't go wrong with this beautiful rental located in an upscale historic, quiet neighborhood. It is close ( a mile?) to the 134 freeway so getting around the LA area from the rental is quite easy.
Spacious and clean, the space was recently expertly converted from a garage separate from the main house. Reclaimed wood was used throughout to give the unit a homey, modern vibe. The owners have made arriving and departing from the property easy by installing keypads. The owners also prepared easy-to-follow instructions for the stay that arrived prior to the start of our visit. They also made themselves available by text and were very helpful throughout our visit while at the same time respecting our privacy.
The rental unit is one large room with a wood floor and a bathroom. Tastefully decorated, the large room contains a queen size Murphy bed, leather sofa, built-in closets for clothes and other belongings and a small kitchen area with built-ins. One corner also contains a built in bench.
The owner has also installed technology that makes the unit super convenient. A large TV with Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu and every other service you can think of is controlled very easily using a remote that also has controls for lights. All lights in the main room can be dimmed to your level of preference. A separate remote can be used to control the heat. Next to the bed, ports for tech devices have been installed in the built in shelves so you can easily plug in your electronics. There is even a bedside tray that pulls out of the built-in shelving on both sides of the bed along with recessed lighting directly over the head of the bed to facilitate bedtime reading.
And, speaking of the bed, the mattress is very comfortable. The sheets are super soft as are the pillows, making for a luxurious sleep environment.
The bathroom floor is tiled and has a strong shower. The host provided thick, absorbent towels, a hair dryer and other necessities.
The hosts have a beautiful backyard with fruit trees and sitting areas. Although we didn't have time to enjoy it, they also have a swimming pool in the backyard right behind the guesthouse.
We were thrilled with our visit. Since we were in the area visiting relatives, we will have many opportunities to visit the area again. We hope when we do this rental will again be available as it perfectly met our needs.
