This is a great home for families. It is spacious with indoor and outdoor open spaces for gathering. Despite its location in Sherman Oaks, we found it still relatively close to LA activities with typical drive times of 20 minutes or so into Hollywood. The home is in an elevated location surrounded by peaceful trees with nice views of the surrounding canyon. Amenities are fantastic. Interior design is modern and well-maintained. Bottom line: a perfect get away for a family trip to LA.
