It is in a quiet, small-town, beautiful hilly area. The town has most of the essentials you might need and a great Korean BBQ place! You have a fair number of miles to do to get to the downtown LA area, but for us that was okay as we didn't go there every day. And for those who fly into Burbank, it is just a few minutes from Burbank airport, and you get to avoid the rather scary LAX! Emanuela is a very nice, interesting and helpful lady. The house, the studio and all the available amenities are just great! It is all so much better than a hotel. It is my first Airbnb experience, and I/we plan to keep doing it!
