Georgetta and her husband are superb hosts. Incredibly responsive and helpful. Any questions were answered promptly and packages I needed sent were kindly retrieved and delivered. The apartment is as pictured- nice layout, nice furniture, good light, and clean and modern. Its part of a large apartment building but is ground level facing the street and on a corner, so it is only a few steps to the outside. This is fantastic for kids or dogs, as you can walk right out without dealing with hallways or elevators. Its also useful in the pandemic, as you can limit contact with others. There is some street noise, as you might imagine, and some privacy constraints if you like your shades open during the day, because people do walk by. But I didnt find it distracting and its quiet at night. A construction project is getting underway across the street but its not yet in full swing, so it didnt affect us and I cant comment on it. The building has a nice and large gated courtyard in the middle, with beautiful pots of cactus, multiple couches and places like to sit, an outdoor grill area with tables, two hot tubs and a large pool. Hot tubs are hot even in winter. Pool was brisk. My toddler could “swim” in the hot tub for a few minutes at a time and play in the courtyard with his scooter and dogs. We hardly saw other people and could enjoy the space largely to ourselves. Access to the courtyard and all the above mentioned outdoor spaces is only steps from the apartment, which is fantastic. Fitness center is great and hardly used - enabled me to get a rare workout in as a new mom in a pandemic. Elevator to underground parking with two reserved spaces is right across the hall from the apartment door. Again, super convenient. The apartment is well located in Glendale and has a great little coffee shop attached to the complex, right around the corner from the unit. Americana is about a 12 minute walk away and is fantastic for kids (dancing water with music), a trolley and a lot of outdoor kiosks to browse. There are several good restaurants too, with tons of outdoor seating. We enjoyed the Japanese one. Overall if you want to be in Glendale and a two bedroom suits your needs, I highly recommend both the apartment and the hosts.
