I chose The Irvine Place as a good stopping point for a surprise birthday weekend for our 10 y.o. girl (the double digit birthday), along with her 2 best friends. This unit is family oriented and in a safe neighborhood, which was important with children on this trip. We really appreciated the thoughtful touch of birthday balloons upon our arrival. This place is a quick UBER trip to Universal Studios, therefore no need to pay $25 parking. This place is SPOTLESS, spacious, and beautifull decorated. All instructions for how to use items in the home are clearly available in a master binder and helpful signs throughout the home. Heather is very responsive, especially with our changing arrival times and departures. This is located in a quiet, upscale, residential area of Studio City, which has many walkable amenities.
This place is spacious where you can spread out; 3 large screen televisions, 2 fireplaces, 3 patios. The office area was helpful as my husband had some work to do during the trip - desk/wi-fi, separate area to work from. Only one challenge: this place has plenty of stairs; front patio to door, to bedrooms, to the office, to the living room, this would be difficult for those with major mobility issues.
This place is a great location to get to Studio City/WeHo/Hollywood/Sunset via Laurel Canyon and sidestreets. We look forward to staying here when we're in Los Angeles!
