A warm and welcoming place, open and full of energy, clean and tidy, comfortable and accessible, filled with amazing aromas of Italian cooking... these are only a handful of descriptive words I can use to elaborate on my experience of staying for three weeks at Russell's nicely located Sherman Oaks accommodation. It particularly worked perfectly for me who everyday needed to get onto 101 and 405 highways, which are just around the corner, as is Trader Joe's and other major super markets. Russell is a generous host and along with his two beautifully trained cats, Orsetto and Figgy, they create a kind and friendly space that is extremely easy to share with them. I am already booking my next stay!
