What a beautiful place! My family and I stayed here for a few days while they were in town and it was the perfect, quintessential California house. It's very exquisitely and stylishly decorated, but in a really livable, comfortable way, so it feels just like coming home (if your home were straight out of a magazine, that is!). It's not huge but feels like a lot of space even for 4 people, because of the openness of the living/dining/kitchen area, the big big windows, and the extra space on the huge deck, where we ate out for brunch and dinner. It feels very private. I was EXCEPTIONALLY impressed and thrilled with how well-equipped the kitchen was. Oftentimes rentals have a bare-bones kitchen but this had EVERYTHING you could want to cook with and was such a beautiful place to make a meal and socialize.
The location and view are amazing. Since it's close to Laurel Canyon, it's easy to get most anywhere, and yet you are far enough off the beaten path for it to be quiet. Great restaurants are a 3-5 minute drive away, and you can quickly get to the 101 freeway or drop over the canyons into LA. If you're unfamiliar with Studio City, it's such a wonderful area with such good food and neighborhood feel. There's a great golf course nearby if you golf! My dad went several days in a row. Definitely come stay here if you can!
