Thanksgiving
We came to celebrate Thanksgiving with family that lives 15 min away.
The kitchen was fully equipped and beds were very comfortable. We were two adults and space was great and everything was very clean.
I can only suggest a better care of the front lawn of the property.
We visited Lake Balboa, an excellent place to walk/run.

Little Getaway for my son and I
Quinn, was very helpful and assisted in making the process so much easier, the home was well kept, and everything you need is within walking distance or driving if you want to. My only complaint would be the Green Honda which sat in the front of the home the whole time I was there making it difficult to maneuver your vehicle out of the driveway
Quinn provided everything we needed for our stay.
He responded to our questions and requests.
We would gladly return.

Wedding party
We were very comfortable, our only issue was hot water which we addressed with the owner. He is very strict about max 4 guests. We were attending a family gathering and we did have a couple of family come by to see their 90 year old mother, they only stayed a couple of minutes. The neighborhood was quiet except for a dog who did do some barking, but he’s a dog! I would stay there again. Definitely a great value in that area.

Perfect location, it was exactly what we needed.
The host was friendly and communicate, with quick and clear reasonable rules as well as instructions. When we checked in I was nervous because the road (like every place in CA) was packed with cars, but there's a driveway that was easy for us to access at all times and we were never blocked in or without parking.
We enjoyed a day at the beach, the Getty, Santa Monica Pier, LA Zoo and the Hollywood Bowl. There's nice restaurants near the house and the neighborhood wasn't too noisey. We sleep with a sound machine anyway, so any noises made were drowned out. We were a half hour from everything and thats saying something for LA. When we're ready for another get away we will happily stay there again!

Cozy clean communicative
Those are the high points about this offering. The owner was helpful and communicative, the house was very clean and the beds were comfortable.
The only downside was the neighborhood was run down and noisy (no sirens but a lot of motorcycles and dogs barking all night). Would be nice to add a box fan or two. With a small amount of investment (lights and comfortable seating), the outdoor space could have been a nice place to visit.
Overall solid option, and the owner was reasonable and honest.
