The property was clean and well cared for. The kitchen had everything you could need for a short stay. The outdoor space was a great way to wind down after a long day.

Great place near USC

Communication was great (both prior to our stay and during). Everything was great, condo was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for making meals. The location was close to USC which made it very convenient. The screened balcony with a dart board was an added perk. All in all I would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Girls Weekend

This is the cutest little apartment. It has the balcony screened in, the owners have the perfect little string lights to give it the best laid back atmosphere. The weather was perfect. We enjoyed the screen sliding door and the fresh air & the sounds of the river & birds. Fully stocked with everything you will need for a get away. We would recommend this place and these hosts to everyone!!

Cozy and Convenient

I loved the property and how while walking to the pool the downstairs neighbors had plants growing and gave it a homey feel. The fenced in pool wasn't too far from the condo which was comforting because I have a toddler. The wooded area around it felt like a secluded get away. The condo itself was clean, well stocked with dishes, silverware, and cooking needs. The beds were very comfortable, and my toddler loved the family room rug. His words "ooo, cozy!". We can't wait to come back!
