Had a really great stay at Kendra's. Her place is as described, and is exactly the way Cher's Dad in Clueless explains how LA (should) work "it only takes 20 minutes!". It's quiet, but central to everything we planned to do. Our dog loved their yard, and the neighborhood is great for walks, she was even kind enough to offer to walk our dog if we needed it. Kendra and her family stay out of your way, but always greet you with a smile and a wave. Didn't know I could like Van Nuys this much. Would definitely stay there again!
