I stayed for a several month period at Ally's property while working on a job nearby. I chose it for its stated amenities and its close proximity to my temporary work site.
That having been said, during my stay I found it to be an excellent spot from which to stage all kinds of activities related to the LA area. It’s situated in a quiet suburban neighborhood in the central San Fernando Valley, close to many of the major arteries that get LA’s citizenry from place to place.
While I did not get to meet Alejandra personally, we communicated as needed, and she attended to the occasional request for info and repairs. As an example, a recessed overhead “non-user friendly” light burned out and she had her local handyman come fix it.
The house has an adjoining apartment that was occupied at the time by another tenant, and I never heard a sound coming from that space. I should point out that there are technically three living spaces associated with this property. Even so, it felt very private, though one should reasonably expect the occasional neighborly bit of ship crossings.
There’s a private garden space in the back yard that is a pleasant refuge during amenable weather. The interior space has about anything one would want, along with a few surprises, like a Google Home device. The home chef will likely not be disappointed. Bring a sharp chef and paring knife if you're that critical. My brother is, and so he travels with his own knife set. I'm not, but I left an inexpensive sharpener in case you are.
A private driveway is a welcome benefit, as the neighborhood often sees its street parking filled to near capacity most nights.
The home is located a very convenient distance from Burbank Airport, literally a ten minute drive. If one can find a suitable flight, it’s a great access point.
I think the home’s amenities are generally listed on this site. I’ll just say the place is cozy for a couple or small family. It comes with all the modern conveniences, lots of storage space, requisite wifi, as well as added amenities (board games, a video projection unit, an ample Bluetooth speaker and more), with shopping, sightseeing and quality restaurants a convenient drive from the door. I should here emphasize the word drive. This is not a place where you stash the car keys and walk to all your destinations. This is LA, after all.
