Updated and redecorated, this ultra-clean, private home sleeps 6 comfortably. Great for relaxing and sunning with pool, big patio table & chaise loungers. Super comfy beds with fluffy comforters & plenty of soft towels in the baths. Gourmet kitchen: WOLF range, specialty cooking tools, lots of pots and pans, and a coffee station too. Enjoy the peaceful environment while being close to all the fun stuff L.A. has to offer. NOTE: Home is 2 main streets from trendy Ventura Blvd and very freeway on/offramp close - compare to other listings that are further north... being south is preferable in this neighborhood. King bed in front master, Queen bed in pool-view back, and Queen Plus in convertible den (American Leather Sleeper Sofa with no bar in the middle) with privacy doors. Great local neighborhood for walking. There are also beautiful hiking trails nearby in the Santa Monica Mountains. If you're traveling without a car and need to get somewhere fast, I'm usually available for a quick shuttle service!! If you do have a car, there's plenty of parking.

Just toss used towels into the main bathroom tub and run the dishwasher if necessary. If you think about it or have time, it's helpful if you could toss the kitchen trash into the bins on the driveway, but not imperative. Thanks!!! Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Rules Los Angeles has Vacation Rental rules which are posted at the home. No parties and no outdoor noise after 8pm. This is a quiet neighborhood. While completely harmless, the elderly neighbor to my south is NOT welcome in this home. Plz text if you're concerned; it's actually rather amusing! I only need access to backyard to water plants (will always notify you first!). Pool man comes on Thurs mornings. Gardener comes on Fri afternoons. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: NO fence around pool, hot stove, glass decorations ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
