Where do I begin? My husband, myself and our 5 year old daughter took a summer vacation to LA late July/early August this summer. This place was fantastic!!! First, Amy and George could not be more lovely. They are amazing hosts and truly take care of their guests (think fully stocked EVERYTHING! Cereal, TP, paper towels, coffee, shower gel! I even found some eye make up remover in the bathroom!) From the moment we stepped in to the Cottage of Lake Balboa we felt like Amy and George were 100% invested in taking care of their guests. The Cottage is newly renovated so everything is new and clean! The space was pretty and uncluttered. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient to lots of locations in the San Fernando Valley. And, there is easy access to the 405 and 101 freeways from The Cottage. We had a wonderful experience for all 10 days we stayed with Amy and George. This will be our go to place whenever we go to LA. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! AH-MAZE-ING!!!!!
