If I could give the house and the host 6 stars I would. Great location, pefect for all that is best in LA to visit. 20 mins to Universal and all the studios and Hollywood boulevard. 30 mins to Beverly Hills and only 40 mins to Santa Monica and Venice beach. Far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to jump right in. The house is amazing. The view from the rear of the house, including main bedroom, living area , dining room and patio are to die for. Darla Ave is in a quiet residential neighbourhood, with hardly any noise or contact with neighbours. Close enough to all the main routes to interstate 5; both North and South into LA. Full air conditioning made the stay extremley comfortable. Lay out and amenities are near perfect with en suite to very large main bedroom and large shared bathroom even with connecting door to second bedroom. Beautifully furnished, a lot of style combined with minimalism that is plain and simple, but feels extremly relaxing. Tiny negative is that the house does not have a pool. ( There is room Jeff! and would be a great investment) But everything else including a fabulous host in Jeff still warrants this house as THE perfect place to stay for a short or long stay in Los Angeles. There is so much to do and we hardly scratched the surface. From the studio tours, to the wonderful beaches, the perfect weather, the friendliness of the local commumities and people and the quality of service everywhere; even the busy freeways are a joy to drive having driven all my life in the UK! If you are lucky, as we were, you may even get to see, close up, a movie in full production; down on Hollwood boulevard. Thanks again to a great host, Jeff for providing real quality amenities from the bed linen to the extras in the bathrooms to a well stocked kitchen.
