We travel to LA as a family pretty often and staying in Denise's lovely home made this one of the best trips we've ever had. The house is incredible. So spacious, comfortable and lovely - the photos are great but truly do not do it justice. It is the kind of space that welcomes you and is appointed with everything you need and then some. From the pool room to the backyard oasis (one of the prettiest we've seen, with a pond, green grass to play in and a lemon tree), this house offered us the perks of more recreational space than you'd expect (it's large) while also feeling cozy enough that our family (two parents and two toddlers) wasn't overwhelmed by it. Quite the opposite! The kitchen just invites you to cook and instantly became the center of the home where we spent most of our time. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, and the bathrooms were clean and well-decorated with a great shower head (important after a long day) and fully stocked. It makes such a big difference to stay at a location that is someone's home, and Denise's house exemplifies why in every way. We walked in and felt right at home.

Ronald and Cookie, the property managers, are awesome-- friendly and so helpful. They immediately made us feel 100% welcome and I was happy to know they were nearby in case of any issues (there were none). And even though we didn't meet Denise personally, she was an attentive and communicative host before and during our stay. And she left a ton of information about the area and recommendations that really give any visitor a head start in experiencing the city like a local. The neighborhood is amazing and historic too with so many breathtaking old homes and a great central location.

I'm so glad we spent our vacation here and would love to come back and stay with Denise again the next time we're in town. This is a property that's not to be missed.
