My Birthday getaway
From beginning to what I didn’t want to end was so effortlessly awesome! The pictures on the site is very nice, but once you open the door, #boom omg it was so beautiful, huge, clean and fresh! Neighborhood was a plus. I celebrated my birthday with a nice gathering of family and close friends with a birthday dinner party and it was amazing! A time I will never forget. The host made sure I was satisfied from the beginning to end of my stay. Available with a quick response ready to help and assist with whatever I needed! If you’re looking for a great and rare find this is it, and guess what? They leave the light on . See you again soon!

Eventful Stay in Encino
Traveling to Encino for a birthday party and the LA fires ended up being the news around the world. The home was spacious and clean. The home was nicely appointed and very comfortable. We were able to easily host dinners with family. There are so many great restaurants 2-5 minutes away. We were never lacking for anything. Pool and back yard were spotless. A true private oasis.
