I stayed here with my young son and we were very comfortable. I loved the huge bathtub! The hosts are exceptional communicators and genuinely care about their guests stay. The building is newer and the appliances were great, a/c felt good during the heatwave, and enjoyed some of the restaurants in the area. People in the building were helpful when I had questions (not all speak English). I had a car, so I used Ralph's for groceries (tell them your from out of town If you don't have a discount card), Trader Joe's is another option. The pizza place nearby was delicious! I felt very safe in Glendale and wished I had more time to visit the shops and parks. L.A. traffic is tough as we all know, so it took a little time to get around. Hollywood and Beverley Hills were pretty easy to get to and from (20 min when traffic was light). Disney and Santa Monica took a little longer, about 40 minutes. The ride from the airport all depends on traffic. It took me an hour when I landed, but 30 minutes when I left early in the am. L.A. is a large city so that is understandable.
One building has the pool and jacuzzi and the other had just a jacuzzi, both were easily accessible. The keyfob is needed to access the elevator going up and also thr garage.
The only tricky part is navigating the garage and entering the building from inside the garage if you have a car. It is a little hard to navigate at first, but I got used to it quickly. I definitely would stay here again, and appreciate the hospitality of this team of hosts!
