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.

Cozy home with everything you need!

We are a local family of 4 who needed to relocate for a few days during filming in our home. This property was perfect! It was so cute, cozy, clean, comfortable and in the most convenient location! Close to everything. The host was so sweet and communication was great. Will definitely stay here next time we need to relocate.

About the host

Hosted by ANDY ACHEN

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. Speaker system in den for watching movies, plus speakers in master bath, master bedroom, living room and patio to push music through the whole house and outside. Most light switches are on dimmers (and only 3 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!
