Matt's home was nicely appointed, spacious and clean. The kids enjoyed the board games available to help them wind down in the evening before bed. The home was just 15 to 20 minutes drive to the main places we wanted to visit (Griffith Observatory, California Science Museum and relatives); there are a variety of local restaurants and supermarkets which was very convenient. Matt was very responsive and even let us check in an hour earlier, which is a relief when you have two pooped out, cranky kids. Would definitely recommend. Thanks, Connie
