We stayed at the Cottage of Lake Balboa over the weekend and my friends and I loved this place. One thing I very much dislike about LA area is how far everything is spread from each other (you can spend hours in traffic), however this place is in such a great location that everywhere we went was in 20-35 minute proximity, which was great! I loved how (relatively) close everything was (close to freeways too)!!! The house itself is just as the description says. Everything was clean and comfortable. The design is simple and stylish. All the kitchen necessities/appliances were available. The beds were comfortable. I never met Amy but communication was very simple and fast with her. She was flexible with our check-out time which we all appreciated for the convenience. Last, but not least, I tried a grapefruit for breakfast from the tree growing in the backyard, and it was delicious! That was the "cherry on top" of my stay. Thank you again Amy! I look forward to the next occasion to come back.
