A pleasure from start to end...Sweet-natured host who responds quickly to texts...extremely clean apartment, with not a dust bunny anyway....comfortable bed, and pull-out bed....chill setting (palm trees out window)....good lighting....quiet as can be....kitchen well-stocked with utensils and cookware, great shower (takes a while for the water to heat so be patient), and — possibly the highlight of the stay — Zeev invited me to pick lemons from his tree. I don’t get to pick lemons very often in Philadelphia! Oh, the pool looked very inviting; unfortunately the weather didn’t allow for a swim. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in the Encino area...and when next time comes, I hope the weather allows for some splashing about!
