Michael was a great host and the house and yard/pool were lovely. We stayed for a full month and really felt at home. The location is great--15 minutes from Downtown LA, 10 from Universal Studios and close to lots of hiking and great food. Can't beat it! Also, our dog loved all the fresh fruit from the trees. Michael checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. He was accessible at any time and fixed our clogged sink right away. Would definitely stay there again!
