Joshua's house was fantastic for our family (2 parents, 2 kids 7&10 and 1 uncle). Having a separate quest house made all the difference. The lot offers complete privacy - you cannot believe you are in such a large city. The pool area gets full sun (our visit was in July) from 8am to 6:30pm which was fantastic. It is the area we spent all our time. Backing onto a nature preserve, make the yard seem huge. The pictures are very accurate. No other properties over look the yard - truly a magical place.
Well there are newer and more modern homes (and also much more expensive ) to rent in the Beverly Hills Area - having a magnificent pool area was the key selling point for Joshua's property. It was the main reason for our 2 week visit = Pool time in the California Sunshine.
Loads of conveniences nearby (within a 12-15 minute drive) WholeFoods, Starbucks, Cheesecake Factory, Movie houses, Ralph's, Gelson's, Target etc.
We had some small plumbing issues - which Joshua dealt with right away. He lives only a short distance from the house.
We couldn't be more happy with our selection - and cannot wait to go back.
