Ivan is a great host, which makes all the difference in the world. He is very responsive and accommodating. Also very helpful in suggesting restaurants in the area. The apartment is as pictured (very nice space), and its location is central to various attractions and restaurants. Loved that it was only a four-minute drive to the Universal Studios parking lot. Couldn't be happier with the rental. One caveat: there are trucks that make a lot of noise just outside the unit very early in the morning, especially on a Tuesday and a Wednesday.
