What a great stay! The place was clean and very accommodating. We arrived quite late but Debbie greeted us and gave a a quick but informative tour of the space. The back yard was welcoming and the pool was well maintained. Very quiet and safe neighborhood with great proximity to many locations. Will definitely stay again!

4 night stay

Great location. Owner was very nice. Living space was clean and comfortable. No oven or range, but had hot plate, electric wok, and toaster oven. Pool wasn't ready to use, needs service. Perhaps because the weather had just turned nice, wasn't time.

Pool was amazing. Location was great! Didn’t think owner would be using pool at same time as me. Uncomfortable! Didn’t like that we had to make contact to get the keys. Usually there is a code system or lock box. Didn’t like that you had to Jimmy the gate to get into property and that at night light didn’t come on until you were done using key. Hard to see. Said sleeps 3 but one of the “beds” was just a plain couch, not even a fold out futon. Not very comfortable for a second adult. And the worst part, came out of the shower to find water all over the floor of the house. Was from toilet issue that she had experienced before and thought was fixed. What if we had been gone? As it was, clothes, backpacks, duffle bags, etc., got soaking wet. No washing or drying machine to use. Just offered a drying rack. Had to carry out huge rug that was on main walking path that was soaked. Stained brand new shirt. Stained bottom of backpack. Spent over an hour just trying to get everything picked up and sorted out. And was day before we left so had to pack up some wet clothes. Pretty horrible experience. Kind of ruined the end of the trip. Debra was nice enough and responded pretty quickly but upsetting that she had this happen before so knew right away what happened. I didn’t. I thought it might be the refrigerator or the shower. Really was unsure. Wouldn’t have even guessed toilet. And while she was nice, her solution was less than ideal.

Super-comfortable studio, well-supplied with everything, spacious, right off a beautiful pool area, in a wonderful residential neighborhood. The host Debbie lives in the main house and was right there for any questions or problem we might have had. We loved everything about this stay!

Great stay

We had the best stay at the cozy bungalow. Debra was amazing. We arrived just in time for the first hurricane in Los Angeles history so that was awesome. Debra made sure we were safe and had emergency lighting just in case the power went out. The room is well appointed. Cooking facilities are just what a person needs to make simple meals. Stay overall was just great.

Great little Casa

Debbie's place in Valley Village is a perfect spot to experience the Valley. It is centrally located and in a quiet walkable neighborhood. The casa is very functional with a large shower with great water pressure. Debbie was welcoming when we arrived and quickly provided answers to my questions. It was very private even though a guest house on her property. I would definitely return here again!!

Great place

This rental is a studio apartment. Has comfortable accommodations and very clean. You can cook in the kitchen. We did not. Great shower. Loved sitting out by the pool even though it was too cool for us to try it. Great location. Quiet neighborhood yet close to restaurants, shopping. The rental , location and friendly landlord met all of our needs. Debbie is a wonderful landlord. We’ll definitely rent again if it’s available. Thanks Debbie. Hope to see you again.

Perfect Guesthouse North of the Hills

My boyfriend and I stayed here while visiting friends and family that had moved out to LA. Debbie’s place was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, and homey. Truly 5 stars. The neighborhood is residential but walkable to some shops and restaurants. We rented a car while here and Debbie let us park on her driveway. LA is such a large city but the rental is located within a 30 minute drive (traffic depending) to many attractions like Beverly Hills, the Getty, Griffith observatory, Hollywood, and Santa Monica. Thanks again for the great stay!
