Our family of 5 (3 kids: 15, 11, & 9) needed a place to stay near Universal Studios so we could get to the park for early entry and not spend too much time driving. Ivan's place fit the bill! On the day of arrival, Ivan checked in with us via text... with keyless entry and street parking right in front of the unit, it was easy. My oldest slept on the futon in the living room, and then there are two queens in 2 back bedrooms. The kitchen was helpful for breakfast before we headed to the park. Be prepared, with the great location comes loud street/traffic noise. Bring earplugs and your noise machine app.
Although it's reasonable walking distance to Universal, we decided to pay for parking ($20 😳) at the park, which served us well for the 14 hours we spent there. We were home so quickly, ready to collapse in bed. Perfect.
