Marty and Carla (well we only met Marty) were very responsive on our first inquiry. Therefore we booked the shack right away. We first were taken to different location which was not so nice, but that was an issue with our navigation. When we got the right one, Marty already waited for us. He showed us everything. The shack really has everything. And plus the interior decor is so nice! Everything fits perfectly together and has a great style to it. The first night was awesome! The bed is so comfortable, although you should not be afraid of heights :-) For the very central location (in 10 Minutes you are either in Burbank or Beverly Hills) it is soon quiet! This was the most quiet location we had! Although you are basically in the backyard of Marty and Carla, you basically never see them. They respect privacy, but if you need them they are always there. They also let you use the huge pool and if you ask also the washing machine at no cost! If we ever make it back, this will be our first choice! Location, styling, amenities and nice hosts! Even the fridge is filled with drinks, water, coffee and tea!

If there is only one little, little thing to complain is, there is no AC (so in summer it needs and hour at night to cool down a little and the shades do not make it totally dark. Not an issue, but we are used to very dark :-)

Overall, this should be couples first choice when you want to stay in LA! Really great! We give it 5 stars!
