The hosts were available and all the information was clear. Thankful to stay here with friends during a conference and would definitely stay here again. It is ideal for friends or families. ##### Adam Wesley W.

This place fit the bill perfectly, allowing us four adults to have our own bed and space and with the stove top and oven, we could prepare dishes to take to the holiday meal. The game cupboard was a nice touch. We did not have a car and found groceries and eateries within walking distance. Hosts were communicative and instructions were easy to follow. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie C. 1 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice & cozy place to stay good neighborhood and easy to get around ##### Julie C.

The neighborhood was quaint and quiet (despite the proximity to Ventura Blvd and Freeway). Accomodations were as described and there was plenty of space for our group of 5. ##### Jeremy G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David W. 27 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and a very clean house We had a great visit at this rental property. The house was well stocked, the beds are all very comfortable, and everything was very clean. It was perfect for our family vacation. A few things to note 2 of the bedrooms are situated rail Road style meaning to get to the third bedroom you have to walk through the second. Fortunately that works for our family but just something to keep in mind for others staying at this location. ##### David W.
