A perfect stay. I spent two weeks here for a work trip, and this home offered me the perfect place to relax and decompress.
This property is an amazing sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of LA, nestled amongst the tree and succulent lined streets of a charming little residential neighborhood called Valley Glen. It is quiet and serene at night, despite being super convenient to both the freeway, and Ventura Blvd.
The house was SPARKLING clean and had a great design. Super thoughtful, minimalist, and period appropriate for the charming 1930's bungalow. The sauna and hot tub were amazing amenities to have access to, and the backyard is tranquil and comfy. I should also mention that the linens were excellent- I want whatever brand of towels they have.
Ilka and Bill were super cool hosts, and I really enjoyed my interactions with them. They were kind enough to actually feed me dinner the first night I arrived, as they were staying in the back house at the time, and then show me around the neighborhood a bit. A note for anyone who isn't into getting to know your host- they are super respectful. Although I was really stoked to hang with them, if that's not your thing, they are not the kind of people who would impose on you. BUT, if you get the chance, I recommend getting to know them, as they are very kind and interesting people.
As an fyi, there is another rental space across the yard located on the backside of the garage, so you may interact with another guest at some point. The backyard is huge though, so there's plenty of space to go around.
5/5 stars.
