The compound is a real getaway that is close to everything in Los Angeles. We had a family reunion from kids to 70plus, and all loved the space. The kids could run and play hide and seek in the hills, while the adults could relax in the nice outdoor and indoor areas. All felt it was better even than in the pictures, nicely decorated and appointed with the necessities. The driveway is quite steep but it is short and there is plenty of room for parking by the homes. We went to the beach one day which was close and easy. Sara is also very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!
