About this property

PICTURE PERFECT minutes to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS & HOLLYWOOD: Rated 10/10!!!

Weekly and monthly discounts! *Heated Pool*, free parking and rated 10 out of 10 by Guests: 1951 charm meets the 2020s - welcome to Sherman Oaks, California. Updated and redecorated, this ultra-clean, private home sleeps 6 comfortably. Great for relaxing and sunning with pool, big patio table & chaise loungers. Super comfy beds with fluffy comforters & plenty of soft towels in the baths. Gourmet kitchen and a coffee station too. Enjoy the peaceful environment while being close to all the fun stuff L.A. has to offer. Early check-in often OK; just text me.

NOTE: Home is 2 main streets from trendy Ventura Blvd and very freeway on/offramp close - compare to other listings that are further north... being south is preferable in this neighborhood.

King bed in front master, Queen bed in pool-view back, and Queen Plus in convertible den (American Leather Sleeper Sofa with no bar in the middle) with privacy doors.

Great local neighborhood for walking. There are also beautiful hiking trails nearby in the Santa Monica Mountains. If you're traveling without a car and need to get somewhere fast, I'm usually available for a quick shuttle service!! If you do have a car, there's plenty of parking. Check Metro.net for public transportation.

Distance (approximate) from Andy's VRBO to the following:

Universal Studios - 4 miles (6km)

*$15-$100/day to heat pool. 85 degrees (f) is avg temperature when heated but can be lower if you want. Rate varies depending on time of year: colder months higher, warmer months lower (and often not needed at all in summer months). NO profit on gas cost, just covers the expense!

As noted in other sections of this listing: I LIVE ON THE PROPERTY IN A SEPARATE/PRIVATE GUEST UNIT IN THE BACK THAT IS ACCESSED VIA THE DRIVEWAY (the driveway runs along the side of the dining room and kitchen windows). The entire house, pool and backyard are all yours; the back half of the driveway and my house are gated and fenced for privacy for both of us.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items and take out the rubbish
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Checkout is EASY: absolutely no need to strip the beds nor launder any towels. Just toss used towels into the main bathroom tub and run the dishwasher if necessary.
If you think about it or have time, it's helpful if you could toss the kitchen trash into the bins on the driveway, but not imperative. Thanks!!!
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Los Angeles has Vacation Rental rules which are posted at the home. No parties and no outdoor noise after 8pm. This is a quiet neighborhood.
While completely harmless, the elderly neighbor to my south is NOT welcome in this home. Plz text if you're concerned; it's actually rather amusing!
I only need access to backyard to water plants (will always notify you first!). Pool man comes on Thurs mornings. Gardener comes on Fri afternoons.

About the host

Hosted by ANDY ACHEN

Host profile image
Born and raised in Los Angeles, my parents and I moved into this home when I was 12 years old (I won't tell the year... just yet). Realtor by trade, I have found my niche in hosting this vacation rental - I love it. I'm a dog-dad to a 9-year-old American Bully rescue named, Trisha (after singer Trisha Yearwood). She and I live in a completely separate, back-house down the driveway, past the kitchen window that is separated by full privacy fencing and heavy-duty gates. While out of your way, I'm always available to help with mapping and anything else you might need to find your way around town (also found a super viewing point for the HOLLYWOOD Sign).

Why they chose this property

Well-established, quiet neighborhood in Sherman Oaks. Close to Westfield's Fashion Square Mall for shopping, and trendy Ventura Boulevard for dining. Food shopping close too at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Gelson's and Ralph's Markets. Starbucks is just up the street, two blocks away.

What makes this property unique

The Space:

King bed in front master, Queen bed in pool-view back, and Queen Plus in convertible den (American Leather Sleeper Sofa with no bar in the middle) with privacy doors. It can get hot in L.A. so in addition to the central cooling system, there are portable fans in the closets of each bedroom. 5 total TVs with one in each bedroom, one in bath and one in kitchen: DISH TV - America's Top 200 w/ 240 channels. Spectrum High-Speed internet included. Full-size washer and dryer in back porch off of kitchen. Both bathrooms have oversized stall showers with tub in master. Most light switches are on dimmers (and only a few pesky LED lights in the house) to set the mood and tone you want: the home looks beautiful at night, especially with the custom patio lighting and malibu-lights around the heated pool.

*$10-$100/day to heat pool. 85 degrees (f) is avg temperature when heated, but can be lower if you want. Rate varies depending on time of year: colder months higher, warmer months lower (and often not needed in summer months). NO profit on gas cost, just covers the expense!
