Juli and Cedric are wonderful, communicative and caring hosts. The units are right next to a gas station, so when we first arrived, our Uber driver pulled into a gas station and said, "you're right next door, but easier for you to get our here." We were concerned that the unit would be loud next to the gas station, but you can't even see it - there is a 12 foot wall between the gas station and the units - It was very quiet, private and restful. We love Sherman Oaks; it is very safe and there are a lot of parks, shaded sidewalks to take long walks, as well as restaurants and markets. Juli's place is very conveniently located, a bodega on the corner, large grocery store in walking distance that has a lot of organic produce, coffee shops, and you must try Nat's, the BEST breakfast in town - right across the street - go early, there is a line by 8a. the unit we stayed in had just been renovated, so everything was shiny and new and you can tell that there was lot of attention to detail :-) We like to cook when we stay in Airbnb's and Juli's place had everything we needed to make full meals. We will stay here again!
