We wanted a place close to Universal Studios and some museums during a quick trip to LA, and loved Kristen's place. There is lots of light and privacy with the trees around the house, and we were gone during the weekdays so the construction noise didn't impact us. The gas fireplace was a treat, as was the heated tile floor in the master bathroom. It was great launchpad and place to be after days of exploring. Kristen is always responsive and helpful, a great host.
