Leonard's place was lovely, clean, spacious, comfortable, well equipped! It had everything we needed and more. Leonard and his wife were friendly and welcoming. They brought us fresh grapefruit from their trees, which was extra special. They were happy to chat and give us tips on what to check out in the area. They have 2 friendly dogs. (FYI - dogs were only out in the yard when their owners were there, and the rental unit did NOT smell doggy in case you are concerned about that. Don't be!) They have a lovely yard area to hang out in, as well. We rented a car, and were pleased that there was room for us to park in the driveway. We did walk around in the area a lot, had a lovely breakfast at Barbrix, and wandered over to Hillhurst and Vermont streets where there are shops, restaurants and bars. It was about a 10-15 minute drive to Universal Studios, and close to many concert venues, parks, and tourist attractions. We will definitely be back sometime!!
