Our son moved to Van Nuys early this year and our hunt for a decent, affordable hotel seemed woefully futile. In booking Michelle's apartment, we feel our woes are over. Michelle and Gary were warm and friendly from the start and made our stay pleasant and comfortable well beyond what any hotels in the area offered. I particularly enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and abundant space to relax in. The location allows for driving anywhere easily as traffic is light in this location and yet central to everything in the south valley. We plan to stay here again on our next visit to see our son.
