Overall experience was great. The property was clean and as advertised. Communication was great. If I were coming to the area again, I'd stay again.

We had a wonderful experience, stayed there for 4 nights. Very clean, updated property with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Karla responded promptly with some lock code issues we had initially. Whole foods is nearby. Perfect location if you’re planning to visit Universal studios.
Perfect last minute find for our family after our spring break plans went sideways. Host was super responsive and accommodating. We 100% would stay here again.
This is our second time staying at this location. I cannot emphasize how amazing the location is, especially if you are visiting Warner Bros., Universal Studios, or Hollywood. The location is extremely quiet and safe, stores and restaurants are close by, and the drive to Universal is less always quick. The apartment is updated and lovely as well.
We have a stayed at this property twice and will continue to use it as our "home" when we come Burbank. It is close to almost all attractions in the LA area (this time we went to Universal Studios and the LA Zoo and both were under 25 minutes away).

Cute place, great location!
The location is across the street from Warner Bros and 5 minutes to Universals Studios! The place itself could not have been more perfect. Everything we needed, very clean and functional. Definitely recommend!
This was a great little spot. The location was convenient to several of the spots we were visiting. Kids reported that the sofa bed was comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. It was a little tight for our family of two adults and two teens.
Nice pad close to WB. Perfect for all of our needs. Heard the neighbors upstairs one night around 3 am walking around. Other than that, perfectly quiet and safe. The gracious host was responsive and hospitable with all our needs and queries.
This place is exactly what you need if you’re a family of 4, like us. It’s near to everything. The host is wonderful! The communication is better than anyone could ask for. Everything that one would need is provided and if things aren’t perfect, the host will bend over backwards to accommodate. If you’re looking for a place in LA that’s quaint, convenient, and safe, then this is it!
Extraordinarily clean. Plenty of towels and bed linens. Well stocked kitchen for dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. Pull out sofa comfortable and easy to open and close. Easy parking behind the unit. Excellent location. Warner Bros studio tour entrance around the corner. Several restaurants within walking distance.

Easy check in and check out. Good location to drive around Burbank. Good parking: I was able to fit a Ford Lightning without difficulty. You can also park on the street overnight but must move at 8am. An extra bit of advice that has nothing to do with this property: EV charging in Burbank (and probably everywhere else in big cities) is a major hassle. Long lines at stations. Give yourself 1-2hrs to charge up anytime you need to. Just thought I’d point that out for anyone requiring EV charging as part of their trip.

Perfect location for anyone visiting Burbank and surrounding areas. There is a Bob’s Big Boy right around the corner that is a must! It’s 1.5 miles away from universal studios and directly across the street from WB studio tours. The property is clean and the bed is super comfy. The host was prompt in response to needs. The night we arrived we got in after 10 pm and upon looking around found the unit had not been cleaned from the previous rental. I called Kyla to notify her and she luckily had other open units and had us move from 141A to another unit she had. She did advise us that she would have the cleaning company come out in the morning and that we would need to move back after, which they did not appear to be aware of as they aggressively tried to kick us out until I explained what happened. Nothing against the host but the walls are paper thin. We must have been the only guests night 1 because it was so peaceful, but the second night you could hear people outside, someone was banging on a door to another unit around 9 pm and the people above us were moving about and you could hear every footstep. It actually sounded like they were moving furniture or dragging things across the floor. We would stay again but would rent an upstairs unit due to noise and other units are behind a security door which made me feel safer. The unit does match the pictures and besides having to move our stuff between places and noise the place was great.
The place itself is quiet and neighborhood is nice. Host is nice, helpful and quick to communicate. This unit was a BOTTOM FLOOR Unit, ugh but has everything you need to stay. Our biggest issue was the beds, they need SERIOUS updating. Master bed was the better of the 3 options but very soft and you roll to the middle due to lack of support. The couch pull out has got to go. My 10 year old slept here and she doesnt even weigh 100 lbs and the bed was sagging and worn down, we did put the extra mattress from closet on top to give her some support. My 13 year old that weights 110 lbs slept on the air mattress that evidently has a slow leak because by morning she was rolled to the middle nearly touching the ground. For a place meant mainly to sleep in the beds need to be brought up to par.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely home and great parking.
We have stayed here many times. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Washer and dryer are terrific. Easy to communicate with host. Private parking in rear is very helpful. Will definitely return again. Rhonda S
We stayed for Spring Break '25 and loved how close we were to Warner Bros. (short walk), Universal, etc. We took an amazing horseback ride on the Hollywood sign mountain too! So much to do and this Vrbo was the perfect location with off street parking and outdoor patio space as well.
Beautiful apartment, great location and great property management. I’m sure we will continue to stay here in our trips to CA, it feels like home. Thank you Kyla.
1)gavage disposers in sink out of order.

I hope render has kids, assign then in 1st floor.
In total, secure, quiet and comfortable apartments.
Location is awesome, right across street from warner brothers studio tour. Kyla was great, and house was nicely kept.
