Kathleen's place was fantastic! First off, I lived in this neighborhood for 5 years before moving to the Atlanta area. It was great being back. The home is charming and had everything we needed. Kathleen even left a wonderful welcome basket for us, which was a nice touch. This home is located at the base of the Verdugo mountains in Burbank. There's great trails nearby - check out Stough Canyon. The Starlight Bowl is up on the hill. They do a summer concert series. It's within walking distance of downtown Burbank. There's lots of great restaurants nearby...my favorite being The Granville on San Fernando. It's just minutes away from all the studios in Burbank and just over the hill from Hollywood.
Plus, if you're a TV and movie fan, it's just a few block's from Kevin Arnold's house ("The Wonder Years") with Winnie Coopers house (actually they used two different ones across the street from the Arnold's house on University. That's on the 500 block of University (Dr., I think). At the end of University on Glen Oaks is a parks and rec basketball gym. It's also the gym where Marty McFly auditioned for the talent show in "Back To The Future," and Huey Lewis told him, "You're just too darn loud." There's tons of that type of stuff around. I remember when I lived in the neighborhood, Bruno Mars shot his "Lazy Song" right down the street from my house.
Anyway, Kathleen's place is a wonderful place to stay. Very cozy and charming. When I'm back in Burbank, I hope to stay there again.
