My family had a wonderful stay at Dev's home. Our girls, ages 6 and 7, loved the pool. I loved how incredibly organized and comfortable everything was. Dev, gave us access to all the accounts in the house to help get music, movies, and run the hot tub. It was all user friendly and lots of fun. The kitchen is completely stocked making a dinner or two at home very easy. We used the grill and ate outside on the patio multiple nights.
There is a lot to do around Sherman Oaks, but just a heads up that if you are coming to see Los Angeles, getting to most landmarks is a bit of a drive. We didn't mind but it's worth considering.
The house itself is absolutely lovely. I would definitely recommend it for families...especially if they have a couple of swimmers.
