I booked Marc and Kurt's Hidden Gem for my mom and her work-partner for a week, so they could be close to the studios for a pilot they were working on. It literally took them 5- min on surface streets, to get into the back gate of Universal, which made going to work each day 100% stress free :-). They loved the quiet neighborhood and said that Marc and Kurt were very nice and helpful. Besides that, they said that Marc and Kurt's place was extremely clean and when it came to amenities, they thought of everything, modern and clean. The little patio is completely closed off and totally private. There was a comfortable bed in the bedroom and they provided plenty of linens for the pull-out sofa-bed. The washer and dryer, great kitchen and nice bathroom were very much appreciated as well. There is also a surround-sound system. According to my mom, there are a few little step-downs here and there in the unit that might not work for an older, or visually-impaired person, it might be ok for some, but just something to consider. If you are looking for a nice, clean cottage, in a great quiet little neighborhood, with plenty of amenities, privacy, comfort, close to restaurants and the studios, with friendly hosts, this place checks all the boxes!
