Why Laurie Buss chose Thousand Oaks
I love my home, not only for its uniqueness in the community, but also for being in the same town as my parents and brother's family. I'll be house-sitting for friends for several months and hope my home can contribute to a lovely vacation in the Los Angeles area.

Great location. Quiet and easily accessible.
Nice, quiet home with some really cool paintings done by the artist/owner. Fruit tress in the backyard are a nice touch. Floors are cement and can be a bit cold until the heat kicks in, but depending on the time of year you rent, that might be plus.
Home has a nice feel if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet stay. However, if you are looking for in-home entertainment you will need to bring your own since there is no television or entertainment center.
Great experience
We stayed for 9 nights in July, and we had a wonderful experience. Lauri was accommodating, the house was well taken care of, spacious, and in a great neighborhood. I wish the house had at least one TV. Also, I suggest that Lauri put more wash cloths in the bathrooms. The master bath had two and the extra bathroom had only one wash cloth. Overall, great house to rent. I would stay again.
Nice Home
We stayed in this home to be close to the site of our son's wedding. Coming from Ohio it was much nicer than being in a hotel after 4 days of driving. The home is quite open, and the master is a nice size. Having two bathrooms was very convenient when it came time to dress for the wedding. We didn't cook anything, but it was nice to have a frig for drinks and leftover food. The advantage of having a nice backyard to sit in was also a big plus. Very clean, and I really loved being able to use the washer and dryer. All and all we had a very relaxing stay here.
Schöne Wohnung
Wir waren drei Wochen hier und haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt. Uns hat es an
nichts gefehlt in der Wohnung.
Im Garten ist das einzige kritikfähige das die Gartenmöbel in die Jahre gekommen sind. Aber alles in allem eine schöne ruhige Gegend.
