We loved the place. It was the perfect size for four people (two couples in their 20s). The location is great, a very nice neighborhood, which some shops and cafes about 3 blocks away. We got groceries at the Super King about a mile or so driving away and they were awesome and had a great produce selection, plus some great Middle Eastern options and a nut bar.

This place was very tidy and the garden was lovely. The gated driveway/car port adds some nice security, though I didn't get the impression it was needed. Liquor, coffee and a Salvadoran places at the end of the street.

You probably need a car to get around here, but we were meeting friends in nearby Eagle Rock so it was convenient. It was about 45 mins to an hour from LAX and I heard that Burbank was a much more convenient airport.

Overall a great escape and Maddalena was very attentive and helpful before, during and after our stay.
