Nichola has a wonderful home in the Rancho district of Burbank, a great area that is quiet, beautiful and close to everything. My favorite aspect is that there is a bike lane on her street. This lane leads to Griffith Park and the LA River Bike Path, or, one can easily work up to the Chandler Blvd. / Orange Like bikeway that can carry one all through the San Fernando Valley! One is literally walking distance to Disney Studios and exceedingly close to Warner Bros. & Universal. In the other direction is Burbank's fun Media Center area, with great restaurants and a huge selection of movie theaters.
Nichola is a warm host. She has two beautiful dogs, a cheerful bird, and a cat that I never formally met. The room and bath are very comfortable, and Nichola offers a lot of privacy. I had a pretty rough work schedule while I was staying, and Nichola could not have been kinder.
The house is very secure. It is a safe neighborhood (I lived in Burbank for many years, and the Rancho area was always considered safe), with many of the households sporting stables for horses. One is likely to see horses on the street in the mornings and afternoons! Nichola maintains a locked gate in front of the house and provides a key. So I was very comfortable leaving my bike in her yard (she offered space in her garage if I wanted it). Street parking is plentiful, although like almost everywhere, one should note that street cleaning is (as of this writing) in the mornings on Friday.
Nichola herself is friendly and accommodating. She seems to genuinely enjoy life and people, and she couldn't have been better and kinder host. Highly recommended!
