Frank's place was perfect for us! We stayed a month while visiting our son in L.A. There's a full service grocery store 2 blocks away and a large grocery store (Von's) and drug store (CVS) that are a 5 minute drive. Having 2 parking spaces was great. We only used one but our son came with his car occasionally so he used the other spot for a couple of hours. The pool is clean and very easy to get to. Our son lives in Echo Park, L.A. which is close to downtown and the drive was about 12 minutes and we never got stuck in traffic so that was wonderful! There's an In N Out Burger place that's a 5 minute drive and you can get to downtown Glendale very quickly by car. There are fabulous shops and restaurants in the area around The Americana (on Brand) and The Galleria is a huge indoor shopping mall right there. Frank's place is in a lovely family neighborhood and his location makes getting into downtown L.A. easy. Glendale is extremely clean and has a suburban feel to it. Frank is easy to reach by text and answers quickly. I suggested that he supply a baking pan (for future guests) in addition to the pots he had already supplied and I found a brand new pan on the front porch the very next day! He checked in with me by text, half way through our stay to make sure everything was OK. When I mentioned (by text) a lovely park I had found by accident, he texted me the names of some other ones I would like and they were fabulous! We are 67 and 74 years old and the steps were not hard to handle. There are 2 flights to get into the apartment but here is a small walkway between them which makes it easier. There is also a flight inside the apartment up to the 2 bedrooms and that was not a problem either. Frank made sure we knew about the stairs before we made the final commitment to stay. The front porch is also quite comfortable. We found 2 folding chairs in the laundry room (inside the apartment) and we were happy to have them for the two times we went to watch our son's partner play tennis! They were extremely light weight and very comfortable. We will stay at Frank's place again in the future as our son's apartment is way too small to accommodate us! Everything about Frank's place made our trip easy and comfortable. You won't be disappointed!
