Thank you, Jeanie. I'm glad you found my home to your liking and had a positive experience during the two months you were at my home. You were a terrific guest and I very much appreciate how nicely you took care of my home. You are welcome back anytime. Brenda

Great location

We spent two months here and the location was excellent. This house was very close to where our son and his husband live, so we were able to see them every day without getting in their way. (Both they and we work at home.)Photos are accurate, cute and clean, and the fully fenced backyard was great. Target was in walking distance.

Fantastic Property Design in a Great Neighborhood with Tons of Space Inside & Out

I can’t recommend this spot enough. Brenda is the sweetest, most accommodating gal on the planet. My booking was sorta last minute and she responded within the hour of my request and had docs sent over and everything was done so quickly and seamlessly and HASSLE FREE! The home is stylishly appointed with retro motifs and a mid century modern / atomic era vibe to it, everything was clean and in tip top shape and literally had zero to complain about lol. And I’m not just saying it. If it was “ehhhhh, alright,” I’d say so. That’s just not the case here. This spot housed my brother and his wife and two kids and by accident, myself one evening as well as we all hung out into the late evening early morning. Is great for families and has room for the little ones to play and the grown up kids to hang as well without it being a tight fit. Can’t go wrong with this rental! :)

Thank you so much Shane. You and your brother's family were terrific guests and I would welcome you all back in a heart beat. I'm super glad that you were happy with the house and that it met all your needs. Until next time, I wish you and your brother and his family the best! Brenda

Beautiful home, perfectly situated!

We took a last minute family vacation with the kids, and found this amazing home that was in the middle of everything we were hoping to see! Close to grocery stores and great restaurants! And centrally located to all the major attractions. The house and back yard were impeccable, and has a feeling of privacy and peacefulness. A perfect spot for families and friends. An absolute deal for this quality of a home! And a wonderful host :) Thanks Brenda!

Excellent Great Home - Highly Recommended

In the search for a temporarily place to stay, we were so lucky to find this perfect house and great owner to whom we now consider a friend. The house is in excellent condition and it even looks better in real life than pictures. The owner was so kind to accommodate us and work with us and our relocation agent. There was literally nothing wrong with the place, and I would highly recommend this place to anybody who wants to be in Sherman Oaks.

We're so lucky we found this home!

We stayed at this lovely home for over 3 months and our family is so grateful we found it. Our home had major flooding and water damage and we had to evacuate immediately. My main concern was finding a place that could accommodate myself, my husband and our two small children. Brenda's home was perfect. It was clean, cozy and very peaceful. The backyard is a huge plus. We had no idea how much damage our house had endured, and we had no idea that we would be displaced for as long as we were. Brenda was easy to work with, always available and extremely helpful. Another plus, the neighbors are very nice as well!

Great Stay !

I had my family come visit me here in Sherman oaks from Dc - we stayed in the house for a whole week and I can say that it was so comfy and made them feel right at home. Brenda and her family is so accommodating before and during our stay - she was always reachable and super helpful with any questions I might had . We had no hassle booking the place and her beautiful home was stocked with everything we needed and more . The backyard was our favorite with a stunning landscape and blooming flowers. The guest hose is a HUGE plus! - The set up is really am A+ . I definitely will be renting from Brenda again in the future no questions asked. Thank you Brenda for everything !

Adorable home!

This adorable house is conveniently located with easy access to the 101 and 405 freeways making the tourists attractions and/or work easy to get to. It's in short walking distance to Target, Fed-Ex Office and several other shops. Most of the home seems to be updated and it's decorated beautifully giving it a warm and comfy vibe. My family of four (2 kids,2 adults) stayed for many weeks and it was more than enough room for us. The owner is a pleasure to deal with, very kind and always available for questions. I would recommend this home to friends and family and hope to stay again soon.
