Great location and the apartment was wonderful! We spent a family trip to LA and had a great time at Vanya's place. It was as accurate as described. Very near to Universal and not too far from Disneyland, Santa Monica and all the wonderful experiences to be had in the LA area. Definitely recommend. You'll need to get a car to get around - but finding parking was fairly easy. Ralph's Grocery not that far to stock your essentials. The apartment had most amenities you will need. Vanya was an excellent host.
