This is really a great house for a family. We were in town for a wedding, and it is in a very quiet neighborhood. We felt very safe. The house is spacious and has a great backyard with lots of sunshine during the day. It was also very clean! The host was very communicative regarding check in and we had no issues during our stay. The quiet hours are in force (10 pm to 8 am) but that's the standard when renting a house in LA. If your family just needs a place to chill and relax while seeing the sites in LA or just attending an event, this is a great house!
