Our stay was great. We stayed here to visit universal studios - the location was perfect for this. I was a little skeptic about the neighborhood when we first drove in but we had zero issues our entire stay.
The host is very responsive and friendly. More than enough space for our family of 5. We could have easily fit 2-3 more people. The pool was great .. even though the weather was freezing during our stay - the pool was nice and warm and we used it almost everyday.
I would stay here again - especially if visiting Universal, Hollywood or Beverly Hills areas.
