We had the pleasure of staying at Courtney's place this summer and can not say enough good things about the property! The location is excellent, and very walkable. We loved all of the dining and entertainment options Courtney referred us to, especially All'Acqua - the Italian restaurant! The private yard is great, since we had our small dog with us, and the neighborhood is very safe, and we took him on walks frequently. Overall, the neighborhood is very pet friendly, with most people taking their pets to the many restaurants with outdoor patios. The beds, linens, and mattresses are brand new and I slept more soundly at her house than at my own. They've thought of everything from a great selection of books (that we didn't have time to read), to board games, to blurays, and the ability to stream netflix. The adjoining properties tenants were very quiet, but friendly. The place is extremely clean, and the kitchen is well-appointed. The location is convenient, and very centrally located to all the touristy spots, like Hollywood and Universal Studios, but still feels relaxing and "away from it all". We will absolutely stay here again and have already recommended it to some friends visiting next month!
