Patrick was an amazing communicator and always checking in. The house was very comfortable and neighborhood was quaint and felt safe. The reason for 4 stars is because there are a few maintenance items that should be taken care of and the 4th bedroom was advertised with a twin bed, however, there was no twin bed. There was a fold out that could be added, but not a real twin bed. Not the end of the world.

Perfect location for our family holiday gathering

This house had everything we needed for the "overflow" family members gathering in Encino for an early Christmas. The location was ideal and communication with the property manager was excellent. Beds were very comfortable and the shower (nearest the kitchen) was particularly great.

Spring Break in LA

Lovely home in a quiet Encino neighborhood. Just 5 minutes from restaurants and shopping on Ventura Blvd. with easy access to both the 101 and 405. About an hour to Disneyland on the weekend and 30 minutes to Universal, Santa Monica Pier, and Venice Beach during the week. Patrick was a great host; he responded quickly to all questions and even gave us access to the house an hour early when our flight landed ahead of schedule. Great property for our multi-generational traveling party (80s, 50s, and teens). Would stay here again.

Quiet pleasant oasis & well-equipped suburban retreat home in pleasant safe neighborhood

We were the parents & family ‘of-the-bride’ who all travelled a very long way to LA. As weddings can be chaotic (but oh so wonderful! ) occasions, I knew we’d need a quiet place to retreat to in between all the wedding events. Plus we needed good kitchen to cook in - specifically for a family member with food intolerances/allergies that could not eat out. The kitchen was perfect! This house is also just a short drive to some really great grocery stores that carry speciality items. For our family the location ideal. Host Patrick was always at the end of a text &/or message addressing any issues - & in a very timely manner too. When we return to Encino we will defiantly try to book this home again.
