We had a fantastic time at John and Joe's place. They were very helpful and made sure we made it in from the airport ok. Joe showed us around and explained everything to us like getting in the gate/house to places nearby we might enjoy. They had a tip sheet in the home to help you know how to operate the tv/internet etc. and a drawer full of manuals should you need further assistance. We loved the space, it was large enough to accommodate our family of four (two teens) but also cozy to spend time together. The inside looks exactly like the pictures and the landscaping is beautifully maintained. The large hedge around the property keeps it private. It was definitely a highlight for us to be able to gather under the big avocado tree in the early morning/late evening to relax. The bird feeders attracted several types of birds and the hummingbird was amazing! The three sitting areas outside were each an oasis. They really made an effort to give you all the little extra touches inside to make your stay perfect. Plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap to even do the laundry. They had drinks already in the fridge waiting for us and all the kitchen essentials you need to cook. Board games for kids and adults, extra blankets, lots of pillows, everything you would normally use/need at home. This was our first BNB experience so this may be normal, but I feel like they have done a little extra. The park across the street could be a little rowdy in the mornings and evening with all the neighborhood dogs "talking" to each other, but nothing too crazy especially for us dog lovers. Parking was always available near the house with the parking permit provided. It is definitely within a 10-15 minute walk to all the Sunset strip attractions. A grocery store is about 5-8 minutes drive so you can stock up on any food/supplies. It is within perfect driving distance to the Griffith Observatory and Universal Studios, always got there quicker than GPS said. They were very courteous of our privacy, letting us know in advance if they needed to stop by to water the plants or check on something. Which we never even saw them. It was one of the selling points for me to have the owners next door and available to communicate if there were any concerns, not to be in one of many rental properties. This place felt like a home and not a hotel. Can't say enough good things about it, we loved our first LA BNB experience. Thank you Joe and John!
