Our travel to LA was to visit Universal Studios and Brad’s guest house was only 10 minutes from Universal Studios, so it’s very convenient. It’s also closed to hwy 101 and 170 so easy access to the freeways. We also travelled with our rat terrier dog and Brad let us bring our dog. The small enclosed yard in front of the guest house was perfect for our dog to walk around. One more, it’s 12 minutes away from the famous Cuban bakery, Porto’s Bakery, in Burbank on West Magnolia. If you are a vinyl lover, there’s Atomic Records near Porto’s which has a large selection of new and used LPs.
