This is a gem in L.A. Their location was exactly what we wanted: It was safe and quiet. It was also a few minutes to Universal Studios and many awesome restaurants. We went to Universal Studios all three days because of the proximity and easiness of arriving at it. There was no traffic in this region, which is a rarity for L.A. We were near Sherman Oaks, which also had a lot of nice restaurants including, MidiCi The Neapolitan Pizza Company, and a great recreational swimming pool for anyone who wants to lap swim or family swim: Van Nuys Aquatic Center. We enjoyed lap swimming while our kids had a blast jumping off all the diving boards they had at the Center. The actual apartment was wonderful! First off, it was incredibly clean. Secondly, the sleeping arrangements were great. It had a super comfy queen bed, and the futon was a great addition for added guests. It also had an air conditioner that really decreased the temperature to a very nice level since we were in a heat wave. When we arrived, Jennifer was nice enough to have it on, so we were comfortable. The bathrooms were very clean, and they had supplied everything for us. The neighborhood was so quiet at night that it shocked us being in L.A. We didn't know L.A. could be so quiet at night. Lastly, and most important, Brad and Jenn were wonderful hosts. They communicated from the very beginning to the end. If we had a question, they texted or talked to us right away. They had wonderful recommendations to eat near their location: The Good Neighbor was incredible for breakfast, and the Cactus Taqueria was so delicious that we had to go twice (Shrimp Tacos were incredible). It was just a very pleasant experience here, and I am so happy we were able to find it. We can not wait to go back.
