We loved our time at Maddalena's house! The inside of the house is very cute and the neighborhood is quiet. The beds were very comfortable and the futon in the living room was fine for sleeping. You are just a short drive away from the Glendale Galleria with lots of shopping and restaurants. You're also close to downtown LA and not too far from Santa Monica (about 45 min with some traffic). The table outside is nice for eating outdoors and there's lots of greenery in the front yard.
