We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Janet's place and would highly recommend it. The house is open and spacious, with a very well stocked kitchen (we appreciated the access to spices/seasonings!) and two living room sections that were perfect to unwind in after a day in LA. The pool area is just gorgeous; the photos tell some of the story, but it definitely exceeded our expectations in terms of its character and how peaceful it was. We'd find ourselves missing it when we were out and about, which I think is a testament to how much fun we had there! Even in a city with as much to see as LA we still chose to spend some days by the pool.
Location of the house is great. Its in a quiet neighborhood thats a ~30 minute drive to santa monica and a bit less than that to hollywood. There's a galleria that's a 20 minute walk away and a Target that's 25 minutes, so even when we didn't have a car we were never far from anything. The area felt very safe too.
Janet was a very helpful host; check-in was smooth and she was always quick to reply if we had questions during our stay. It was easily a 5/5 experience for us and we'd happily visit here again. If you're looking for a spacious, quirky family home that you can use as a base to explore LA then I think this would suit you very well. Thanks Janet for a fantastic stay!!
