As described

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.

Thank you so much for your hospitality!We especially wanted to mention how clean and well taken care of everything was. It really felt like home. You thought of every little detail, from coffee and spices to cleaning supplies. Even the towels were beautifully arranged, which was such a nice touch.The apartment was quiet, cozy, and had everything we needed. Having the pool just a few steps away was also a big plus.Thank you again for making us feel so welcome!

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Host profile image

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!
