Josh is an excellent host. We inquired and got a response on a last minute request within an hour which we greatly appreciated. He was quick to respond to our messages. We are locals but needed a place as our home was being repaired and Josh’s place has been a godsend for our extended stay. The home is spacious its located off the main canyon set up on a small hill behind a gate so you don’t hear anything. There are no homes next door and you are surrounded by majestic canyon greenery you feel secluded in the middle of LA, but near everything you might need. The house was sparkling clean and had a well stocked kitchen with all the tools you need to cook multiple meals at home. The beds and linens are very comfortable. The bathrooms are supplied with extra hand soap, shampoo and conditioners and a ton of towels which are great especially if you will be using the pool. Outdoors is truly magical, you wake up to chirping birds. There are trees everywhere and a there are a couple eating areas to choose for lovely meals and get your vitamin D. Our children loved running around and discovering hiding spots. They also loved playing in the guest/pool house which is a nice addition to all the space one already has. But it was mostly used as my husband’s office. The pool looks beautiful and if the weather had been more cooperative we would have used it. It has a safety gate which was our number one question when we inquired. We would absolutely return and will certainly recommend it to family and friends who visit from out of town.
