We absolutely loved our stay! This comfy studio has a private entrance, off street parking, and a private patio, which suited our needs perfectly.
It was a clean and simple retreat conveniently located 5 minutes from our daughter’s home in Van Nuys. The bed was comfortable and clean. The desk and wifi allowed my partner and I to work remotely when we needed. The shower is large and the water pressure is great. A very cozy kitchen was all we needed and it was well stocked with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, wine bottle opener, some dishes and utensils. We didn’t really cook, but the microwave and fridge was handy. The small private patio in the back was very nice and we enjoyed spending breakfast and evenings out there a few times. The AC unit cooled the apartment well, which was especially nice on some real hot days in August. A large closet, plenty of storage, and wall mounted TV made the place feel like home. A basic, no frills space that has lovingly been attended to and perfectly suited our visit. We’ll definitely return the next time we need to stay in Van Nuys.
The neighborhood is a mixed (middle and lower income) residential area. There is a Starbucks and great little supermarket (Jon’s) within walking distance (just a couple blocks away.) There are a couple low end motels in the vicinity, but I never felt unsafe. My partner and I took a couple evening walks in the neighborhood, which was wonderful (we even stumbled upon an active film set at one of the neighboring homes), but I’m not sure I would have taken the walk at night if I were alone.
Dali communicated clearly and conveniently with us and the self checkin was quick and easy. We even met our neighbors who were very friendly and helpful. We loved the private gate and were pleased we could pull the car in from the street and park right in front of our studio.
Highly recommended.
