The house is very nice - tastefully decorated, sparkling clean and ideal for families. The kitchen is well stocked, there are plenty of towels and extra linens, and it even has some toys and children's books. Our kids loved playing in the yard and we only wish it would have been warm enough to take advantage of the beautiful pool. It's a great location for out of towners like us as it's close to Universal Studios, Hollywood, Griffith Park, etc and the kids thought being up "in the mountains" was so cool - just keep in mind that it's not walkable for young children and it took us a couple of days to get used to the drive up and down to the house. Best of all, the check out procedures are reasonable (seems like that is becoming rare!) and everything you need to know about the house is shared in an easy to use online link.
