Our family of 5 adults flew from France to spend over a week in LA.
Neighbourhood is lovely and quiet. THere is a number of interesting food options. With no tourist, it seems away from the crowds. Crowds are not far away though, and make any drive to anything a tad longer than I expected they would be. My mistake probably. Eventhough I kind of know my way in LA, shortcuts take the same time as main routes.
The owners were a dream to deal with, about anything, any question, any request. They were patient enough to accomodate delays from my bank for a wire. Ethan and Suzanne are as nice to deal as can be, and that matches the care they took in designing and maintaining their house, which says a lot.
Everything, any amenity is pristine. You feel at home, and returning to the calm of the house is very much looked forward to, especially when stuck in LA traffic! The house is really, really big. I can't say we used the sitting room, or the media room, or the exercise room, or the office. Although we would have loved to, but we were enjoying ourselves so much sitting on the deck or in the backyard. They are manicured, by the way.
I must point out that there is no hidden surprise or no let down. What you see in pictures is at least what you get in real life.
