Woodland Hills Get A Way

Woodland Hills is a beautiful location. This house is suitable for large groups with children and pets. The back yard is huge and house is roomy. We only had 5 adults so lots of room for us. Great kitchen.

Great place for a small gathering

Great place for a small gathering. Plenty of beds and nice living room spaces for chatting and talking. The interior of the house was older and perhaps in need of some upkeep and not as pictured. It was a little hard to get in touch with the host before the stay, but Yi was very responsive during the stay. The backyard could use some upkeep and is not as pictured in the listing. The organization of the furniture is also not as pictured. For the price point, I wish the house looked more like what was pictured on the Vrbo website. But it served its purpose.

Slow, poor communication almost lead to a disaster.

The property itself was as described, but pretty messy with stuff all around. We mainly cared about using the backyard for a short after wedding sendoff. We described how we wanted to use the property, but the Host seemed confused and tried to add big fees, imply we could not have a small fire, etc. Working with the hose was very stressful.

Nice space, great backyard, great owner

The home has plenty of space and a beautiful backyard, which is what I was looking for. I had everything I needed. Also, I accidentally left some valuables at the property, and the owner was kind enough to find them and mail them back to me. I very much appreciate it! Would stay again for sure.

Beware - Not As Advertised

I have so many details I want to share, but can’t due to the character limit. It is not well cleaned, there is SO much stuff (chairs, beds, mattresses, tables, etc.) everywhere inside and outside. All of it is dirty and very used. The AC runs but you will get very little cool air. The TV’s barely work and cannot be updated to use apps like Netflix or Hulu. There is so much random junk in all the drawers, cabinets and closets. There was mold on some of the furniture. Most of the furniture and “art work” is clearly from hotels after it had been used for a long time. There are fans and lamps all over but less than half of them actually work. The electrical fixtures are old and plugs fall halfway out on you. One outlet behind a couch sparked at us when trying to plug in a fan. There’s a bunch of random chairs on the back deck, lounge chairs in the back yard are covered in dirt and debris. There were four or five grills in various states of decay. Overall, this place is gross. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE! This place is probably only good if you want to party hard with a bunch of people and are up to the risk of it catching fire on you. The host was somewhat responsive, but unhelpful with even the small issues we found at first. As the two days went on, I saw no point in communicating with her further. We couldn’t find another place, so we toughed it out. It made our skin crawl.

Bad stay

Communication already wasn't good with this owner.I had a gathering for my birthday and she showed up to the house without asking, threatening to come in the house, so we had no privacy.Wasn’t nice or respectful at all and I feel like prices were being made up along the way.The house and backyard are WAY smaller then pictures with brown dead grass in the back.

Clean, Spacious and Comfortable home with a Communicative host

I stayed at this property with some friends last weekend. In the days leading up to our stay, Yi was very responsive, and more than happy to answer any questions I had. Our check in process could not have been easier, and upon arrival the home was just as clean and spacious as it looks in the photos. We greatly appreciated the small touches such as coffee and a snack bowl. The backyard is huge and the perfect place to share a meal or just relax. I would stay here again anytime I am in the area!

Not that clean

Our stay at the Topanga Retreat was enjoyable enough. However, we were surprised at the clutter in the house - especially in the garage. Looked like a hoarder's house as you couldn't even get into the garage for the "stuff" that was in it. The washer wasn't working and the owner did not notify us of this issue before we arrived. The kitchen was dirty and we had to run utensils, dinnerware, cookware, etc., through the dishwasher before we could use them. Needless to say, the kitchen was cleaner when we left than it was when we arrived. Also, there is no cable or satellite television. A cheap digital antenna was in the main living room, but the TVs in the bedrooms had no reception. Fortunately, I had a Fire Stick that allowed my family to watch television. This could be a very enjoyable place to stay if the owner will invest a little time and money into cleaning and updating it.

Lovely house with nervous neighbors

This house was such a beautiful and spacious place for me and my large group of friends. There were plenty of comfortable surfaces to sleep on for the entire group of 15 people! The kitchen was cute and functional, the backyard was spacious and gorgeous, and the bedrooms were cozy. The only issue with this rental was the neighbors. There was a basketball hoop in the backyard so we decided to shoot around. The ball went over the neighbors fence and my friends went to ring the neighbors doorbell to see if we could get it back. The neighbors were unreasonably intimidated by my friends request for the ball back, so they complained to the host and threatened to call the police. The host was very understanding that the reaction was unreasonable and I really appreciated the way the host communicated with me about the situation. The host also explained that usually those neighbors don't have any issues with people staying in the rental. Guess we caught them at a bad time! In the end, we still had a wonderful stay for our New Years celebration and no police were called :). I would recommend this rental for everyone!
