The house is pretty good, have everything, is easy to check in and check out, good communication, you can found a warm patio that you can enjoy also when you are in home. Thank you we were very happy in this hidden gem house.

Cute and comfy stay in central but quiet and lovely neighborhood
This accommodation has everything you need for four people to spend vacation time in the Los Angeles area. We were visiting family and spent a great week in this lovely home in the perfect location. Communicating with the host was easy and seamless and we would highly recommend this clean and lovely home away from home for a stay in lovely California.
