Very good
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
Pro: well equipped large home; clean; secure; near shopping and restaurants; communication with the owners was excellent;
Con: the unit is located very close to a major road, and while the noise volume is ok in the downstairs, the upstairs area is extremely loud, during the day and particularly at night, making a good night sleep difficult. Would recommend using the downstairs bedroom where the noise is hardly noticeable rather than the upstairs.

About the host
Hosted by Julie
We currently live in Toronto but my son, daughter-in-law and most importantly one and only grandson live in Van Nuys. We use this property as our own when we're visiting so you can rest assured that it truly is a home away from home!
Why they chose this property
The proximity can't be beat in terms of local restaurants, shopping and easy highway access. The community is also gated and very quiet!
What makes this property unique
My daughter-in-law helped us with the design, which we think is very peaceful and Serene. We're hoping you enjoy it after a long day of work or fun!
