This place is absolutely awesome! The pictures just don’t do it justice. It’s an absolute gem. This was my first AirBnB experience and it was fabulous. The bar has been set high! First let me talk about the host, Johnny. He's a really great guy, totally laid back, and communicated well. From the time I booked, to the time I checked out, he was helpful, courteous, friendly, and responded promptly to calls, texts, and emails (not that I had that many). Unfortunately, we never got to meet up, which was entirely my fault as we arrived extremely late, but Johnny was super chill about it and walked me through check in over the phone. He even had sodas and water in the fridge for us when we arrived! Awesome host. Period. Now for this outstanding home. Location: the place is located in a great, quiet, residential neighborhood close to both the 405 and 101 freeways. We were taking a family vacation to Universal and Warner Bros Studios and do some site seeing so the location of the house was perfect for us. Only about 7 miles to Universal/Burbank. Getting to where you need to go was super easy. Ralph’s grocery store is less than a mile away. Can’t speak to the nightlife around the area but we did sample some food. Since we came in late, we didn’t get food for the morning so we ate breakfast at Nat’s Early Bite. You could probably walk there from the house but didn’t realize how close it was until we started driving. Parking’s tough but it’s worth it. Really good food and easy on the wallet. It’s definitely a local favorite and gets crowded so get there early. We got pizza that night from Leaning Tower Pizza and Pasta on Ventura. Believe the hype! The buffalo chicken ranch pizza is to die for. I listened to the locals and added pepperoni to it and it was outstanding! There are 3 bedrooms downstairs (2 king and 1 queen) and 2 bathrooms; and 1 king bed and bath upstairs. All the rooms have flatscreen TVs and cable and the entire house is either hardwood floor or stone tile and wood shutters. The master downstairs has access to the pool area through a sliding patio door. The other 2 bedrooms are closer to the front door of the house. The master bed and bath upstairs is completely secluded from the rest of the house. The beds had plenty of pillows and blankets and are of excellent quality. The master bath downstairs has a huge shower with 3 showerheads!!! The kitchen is gorgeous. Granite counter tops, gas range stove, double oven (microwave/oven combo and 1 full size oven), pull-out slider shelves, big refrigerator, island with sink, and tons of drawers and miles of counter space. There’s a Kuerig and a regular coffee maker. Did I mention there’s a TV in the kitchen too?!? Off the kitchen is a bathroom (counted above) and separate laundry room. The...
