Would 100% recommend this house for group travel. We had a party of 12 people and had an extra room to spare. The rooms are huge and very spacious, as well as the bathrooms. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The drive is about 45 minutes from downtown LA depending on traffic, not bad at all. There is a pretty good selections of restaurants within 5 minutes of the house to grab a quick bite to eat. Yin Yin answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Would definitely stay here again.
