Maddalena's place was the perfect spot to host 3 girls for a long weekend. We loved the art, vintage touches, the soap, and the outdoor garden space. I appreciated the central air and heating (which is rare for older homes in LA) and the fact that there were wine & champagne glasses in the cabinets!
The house itself is wonderfully private and has driveway parking. The location is only a 10-minute walk from some favorite shops and restaurants on Glendale Blvd, and 1 mile from Enterprise car rental. There is only one shower in the home and the water pressure is quite light, but it was perfectly fine to share for our short-term stay.
I'm local to LA and Maddalena's place was worth the extra cost of hosting my friends outside my own small apartment. She was extremely communicative - I would definitely stay again! Atwater Village is one of my favorite neighborhoods, so I'm also glad I got a taste of what it's like to live nearby.
