From start to finish, our stay at John's house was incredible. John's communication was outstanding. He was quick, responsive and caring. Check in was a breeze with keyless entry. The house was clean, well designed / decorated and very comfortable. John even provided a few kid-friendly items for our boys - which made our visit so much easier. The backyard was a beautifully designed urban oasis and there was a park a few blocks away, so we had plenty of outdoor space - even though we were right in the city. John and his family provided ideas on what to do in the neighborhood, stopped by to make sure we were OK, but gave us all the space and privacy we needed. Location was central to lots of fun stuff in LA. We could have used public transit, but with kids we chose to have a car and it was easy to park. It was a perfect stay.
