Great little home in the backyard of the hosts' place, located in a safe and calm neighborhood in Northridge in San Fernando Valley North of LA. The place was well equipped, especially in the bathroom (soap, shower gels, tissues, towels, detergent, washing machine and dryer...). The kitchen offered everything you need, including a basic range of dishware and pans/pots. We did not see the hosts very often during our stay, but when we met them they were very friendly. As Europeans, we liked the typical American neighborhood (big streets, large houses, enough parking spaces, Halloween decoration, stars and stripes...). The only downside, but this is not related to the place itself, is the traffic in L.A. For trips to Downtown and Hollywood, we experienced the Metro (busway) network from "nearby" (10min by car) Balboa park'n'ride Station as convenient alternative. For just 1.75 USD + 2 USD deposit for the plastic card, you will reach downtown in just below 1 hour, and Hollywood in 30-40min (incl. easy transfer from bus to metro at North Hollywood Station).
