My family of 4 which consists of myself, spouse, 2 kids (12 & 9yrs) and our dog (less than 20lbs) enjoyed our stay here very much for our trip to Universal Studios. If you have your own car it's less than a 10min drive to Universal or you can Uber for less, than paying for parking all day. ($30 parking for Universal). There is 1 off street parking spot reserved for your stay that is right in front of the home (They paved part of the front lawn.), which was very convenient when unloading and loading the car, esp since street parking is full.
The home is very clean and the decor is done very tastefully. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, stem ware and cook ware and has up to date appliances with a gas stove, dishwasher, clean refrigerator & freezer, toaster, coffee maker and smaller microwave. The convenience of the wash/dryer is great with kids or if you didn't want to overpack. The bedrooms are roomy with plenty of space for luggage and clothing storage and the beds are comfy, esp the master bed. The 1 1/2 baths are also convenient and clean, and for those with smaller children, there is a bathtub and a detachable showerhead. The backyard is great for hanging out or eating outdoors with the deck, sitting area, table and lights. There is a patch of grass as well that is nice if you bring your dog. I would just be careful if you let your dog run lose as the side gate is made of bars and if you have a small/skinny dog it can squeeze out.
Communication with Ms. Carmen was easy and she responded in a timely manner. She even messaged me when she heard there may be a utility outage in the area, but we were unaffected.
We would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting the area and would consider staying here again if we were to go back as well.
