This was our third time staying at Maddalena's place, and it was perfect as always! We are extremely grateful to be able to stay here whenever we visit LA and hope to return in the future. A couple new discoveries from this trip as we were traveling with our 2 1/2 year old - there's a small but shaded playground called Glenhurst Park a few blocks away that is free to enjoy, and up towards Glendale Blvd. there is an indoor playroom called the Great Escape Club that is $12 for all-day-play. Our daughter enjoyed both - passing along the info for anyone else who might be traveling with small kids? Otherwise Maddalena and the neighborhood/Atwater Village are perfect - we love it here :)
