It was perfect for our 2 day trip to Universal Studios! Literally almost a straight shot down from there. Chris was amazing at answering all my questions!
Just a side note, house was built in 1940s which means creaking boards are noticable when walking around at night. BUT not a big deal for me. It brought back memories of my great-grandfather's house.
Pool was enjoyable. Just soaked our feet after a day long adventure! Plenty of towels and washclothes to go around (there is 6 of us). Close by were plenty of shopping and dining centers.
Neighborhood is nice. No sense of fear at all. We will be using Chris again for our next LA adventure.
