Joanne’s place is AMAZING and very accurate to what you see in the pictures. The area is perfect for dinning, shopping, movie theatre, apple store you name it it’s there. And no you don’t have to rent a vehicle or spend tons of money on an Uber or Lyft these thinks are literally a 5 minute walk away. The Americana on Brand is a world class outdoor mall. And directly across the street is a huge multi level traditional indoor mall called the Glendale Galleria. Between these two locations regardless of your budget (which you’ll have more of cause they’re so close) you’ll be golden. But the best part of the listing is the unit itself. It’s a nice balance of minimal and homey. Some Airbnb can feel like a cold box with a few pieces of furniture in it. Joanne’s place feels like it’s yours while you’re there. All you need to provide when you get there is your own food. I HIGHLY recommend this listening and more than likely stay here again.
