Cute little guest house! Clean, cozy, and the bed was comfie. Perfect for just needing a place to lay your head. Pool was cool (temperature wise) but it was March. Host was great, easy to get a hold of and checked in on us to make sure everything was good. She even found us some beach chairs to use! Thank you so much, Debbie!

I enjoyed my quiet stay – – second year in a row for a week each time. I can walk to my son‘s home from here. Grapefruit and lemons were ripening on her trees, and I was gifted with several, which I really enjoyed. I plan to come back next year.

I thoroughly enjoyed my short visit to California Casual! The guesthouse is very comfortable and well-equipped, and in a beautiful, quiet and safe neighborhood within walking distance of many fun restaurants/bars, as well as the awesome Sunday farmers' market! The yard and pool area is lovely and perfect for my morning coffee and an afternoon birthday champagne toast! Debbie is a great host - very responsive, welcoming and available; my family enjoyed getting to know her (and Moose) a bit! We have already recommended California Casual to other family members and friends when they visit Valley Village! Thanks again, Debbie, for a wonderful stay!

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!

Home is not private. The host lives in the main house, and there is no private outdoor space. The host had a dinner party on the back patio one night during our stay, and this made it very uncomfortable for us to sit outside. Also, the guests were using the gate next to our entrance door, and the dog was barking. We were traveling with our daughter and had people coming and going, which was unnerving, especially since we had been under the impression that we had a private space. The check-in process is not keyless. The host must meet you, provide you with physical keys, and give you a tour. The guest home was overall clean, but the pots, the electric cooktop, other available kitchen/cooking items, and the floor trim were very dusty and dingy. We are dog people, but did not appreciate the host’s dog coming and going from the house if we left the door open, and jumping up on our chairs while we were sitting outside. We did enjoy ourselves and had a wonderful time. The home is close to Universal Studios, shopping, restaurants, and many other attractions. We had everything we needed for our stay, but expected to have more privacy, as with other VRBOs.
