My husband and I and our six children stayed at Carlos and Kirk's place for four nights whilst visiting universal studios. We arrived exhausted after a long flight from Australia. Carlos's brother Kirk was there to meet us on arrival and made the check in process very easy. The property is a ground floor apartment in a small, private, well secured block which I believe is owned by Carlos's family. Carlos has a bull terrier who roams around the property. The dog is very friendly and was fine with our children. Carlos was very generous with the provision of lots of towels, shampoo and soaps and a great breakfast of eggs, juice and onion bagels (which we had never tried, coming from Australia). There is a laundromat just around the corner. The train station is 5min walk away. From there it was easy to get to Universal Studios and the California science centre. Overall we had a great stay and would happily come back again.
